Croatia - Nigeria Beginning to write these lines, I must initially admit that this is a case for which I was quite hesitant, not because I changed some opinion in relation to what was written in the tribute or already proposed in the long term, but because I have already - among other things - great interest. On the one hand, we have mentioned the Nigerian qualification, on the other hand the prospect of celebrating today (long time and hopefully to celebrate it), Igalos being the first scorer of his team, so her victory is "I want" anyway.
Reasonably, therefore, thinking that I probably do not have to bet more money, however, with the price of the double of the original 4,50 rising almost one unit up, my decision made a little easier.
Without doubting the rich talent of Croatia, I personally insist on my initial position on certain details that I think may work negatively. The change in the layout by Dalić's inexperienced coach, the problem I see mainly at the left-hand edge of her defense (and which appeared again in her last friendly with Senegal), but also my doubts about her central defensive twin Lorren's injury is totally unstable), which, combined with the fairly large average age of the group (the biggest, basically, by 32), have given me the impulse to think it will be from the negative surprises this World Cup.
On the other hand, of course, one can confront Nigeria's younger set (unlike Croatia, Nigeria has the lowest average age) and its not so inhibiting operation (neither the most reliable defensive quartet nor anyone but it is a very well-trained set by German Pors, who, especially in the counter-attacks, "bites" with his fast-moving players, a tactic that is right now, since Croatia would reasonably be the one that would have I put the ball on her feet for longer.
The key, in my humble view, will be for Nigeria to break through the first leg of the race, because especially Croatia is a psychology group. If he scores early, he will hardly lose, but as time passes and the game stays at 0-0, he is also a team that has proven to be "blocked" (we have seen it several times in the qualifying round).
In general, I seem to be among the few who count Nigeria in this World Cup. Okay, obviously they will be surprised if they manage to get through the group, but we should not forget that in terms of World Cup, it remains the most successful African team. I recall this will be her sixth participation, having qualified for "16" in three of the previous five cases. Moreover, it has historically gone well against Balkan teams (four wins, one draw and only one defeat in a total of six games) and it is equally interesting for the fans of the statistics that in the two cases that premiered with a European team succeeded equal wins.
With a low start, then, our bet goes to the victory of Nigeria, an option which goalbet offers at 5,53.
