Croatia - Denmark combo 1 & over 1,5

Beginning, I must first admit the wrong assessment I made about national Croatia. Both through the tributes and other texts related to some long-term bets, I have mentioned my many reservations about how far it can go, on the one hand, because I had reservations about her defensive quadrant (and operation in total), on the other hand, the inexperience at this level of her current coach, Zlatko Dalsic. I even thought, despite the quality in the team that it would be one of the unpleasant surprises of the organization, along with Portugal (always with regard to the "silent" names) that yesterday evening ... I was saying - expected, I would say .

However, based on what we saw in its first three games during the group stage, not only did it "deny" its image on the pitch, but it was first qualified with 3X3 victories, leaving no room for doubt, even if at least first game with Nigeria may have smiled her luck more. Anyway, he went to the 16 of the top football tournament and the comparisons with 1998's golden generation, which had started long ago, are becoming more and more flaming.

It is not easy, you know, or even a "betting", to speak openly and publicly for an error in appreciation, but I do not consider it personally or badly, and - if you want to - ashamed. Everything else, I think, lies also in the respect of the readership, so I have no problem to admit in this case the wrong initial assessment.

In this respect, I can only agree with the title of the favorite given to the Croats in this particular show, not only for what they have shown themselves in the group stage but also in line with what we have seen on the opposite side from Denmark.

Maybe the team of Agge Hareidé has got the coveted qualifier, but neither has eyes drawn racing, nor do I think convinced with her overall presence. I remember the premiere won against the flow of the fight in Peru, after first escaped from a lost penalty in the first half with the score at 0-0 and after the opponent lost her ... hair head to either precede or even then. Then the 1-1 draw with Australia in a game where the opponent was the one who lost again a lot of opportunities, and in the third game with France we had a match-parody where thanks to the favorable result in the other game that was played in parallel, both were reconciled with the draw.

I do not underestimate Denmark, nor, of course, I doubt the potential it has. Besides, the fact that 18 is playing undefeated - which is a national record - only a random event can not be characterized while no one doubts the value of some players like Erikensen or Poulsen. Overall, however, what I see at the moment does not bake me, as I say, and my sense is that somewhere the run that had in the previous games will dry up, especially against a team that will not let any opportunity presented to pass ... unpunished.

Bearing in mind the given quality of Croatia from the waist and front, once Denmark has "eaten" many phases, it seems hard to keep me behind. Based on this and since I believe in the typical home winners' final victory, instead of simply winning betting companies on average at 1,85, I decided to take it one step further by betting on the combined Croatia win & over 1,5 match goals, an option that stoiximan offers at 2,55.

The reasoning behind this choice is quite simple: if I think Croatia will score and win, I bet more (especially if it is earlier) to the risk that Denmark will be forced to play as a knockout game where qualifying is quarterfinals and there, on an open field, it is proven that Croatia can "kill" any opponent.
