After reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup and being beaten on penalties by Argentina, Holland have turned their focus to European qualification.The start was tough with an away loss against giants France. After that, they got up and defeated Gibraltar 3-0, in a meeting where there were 52 shots on goal, of which 12 were on targIn the Nations League it has gone excellently, with 16 points out of a possible 18 against Poland, Belgium and Wales. What has worked best is the goal shooting, as in 6 international matches there have been 14 complete hits. Most of all teams in League A.So it is with top form that Holland steps into the playoffs.For Croatia, it was a 3rd place in the World Cup, after beating Morocco in the match for third prize.Then there was an unexpected point loss against Wales at home, in a meeting that ended 1-1. The Croatians bounced back straight away and defeated Turkey on the road, with Kovacic netting both of the game's goals.In the Nations League, there was a loss first followed by a draw against France before then there were 4 straight victories. Croatia should be credited for winning a group that also featured Denmark and Austria.But the injury to central defender Gvardiol makes the Croatians vulnerable defensively. Something that will be noticed as the Dutch players have scored goals.As national team captain Koeman has plenty of attacking weapons, Holland is expected to break down the opponents more times than they concede goals themselves. Therefore, the bet lands on Holland succeeding in defeating Croatia after full time.

在进入世界杯四分之一决赛并在点球大战中被阿根廷击败后，荷兰队将注意力转向了欧洲预选赛。开局艰难，客场输给了豪门法国队。在那之后，他们振作起来，3-0击败了直布罗陀，在这场比赛中，他们有52次射门，其中12次射正。在国家联赛中，他们表现出色，在对阵波兰、比利时和威尔士的18场比赛中，他们得到了16分。最有效的是射门，在6场国际比赛中有14次完全命中。所以荷兰队是带着最好的状态进入季后赛的。克罗地亚队在与摩洛哥队争夺三等奖的比赛中击败了摩洛哥队，获得了世界杯第三名。然后在主场对阵威尔士的比赛中意外丢了一分，比赛以1比1结束。克罗地亚人迅速反弹，并在客场击败了土耳其，科瓦契奇在比赛中梅开二度。在国家联赛中，先是输球，然后战平法国，然后是4连胜。克罗地亚队在与丹麦和奥地利同组的小组中获胜，这一点值得称赞。但是中后卫格瓦迪奥尔的受伤使克罗地亚人的防守变得脆弱。当荷兰队球员进球时，人们就会注意到这一点。由于国家队队长科曼拥有充足的进攻武器，荷兰队有望在比赛中突破对手，而不是自己失球。因此，赌注落在荷兰队在比赛结束后击败克罗地亚队上。
