Croatia stepped on it against the Welsh. Even if he did more than enough on the grass to prevail. He received the shock of equalizing in stoppage time for the final 1-1, which is not justified based on the image of the match.
With possession 63% - 37%, finals 19(8) - 4(1) and xGoals 1.68 - 0.86, "Hrvatska" was clearly superior but limited to the point. Now she goes to Timsah Arena with a relative pressure, however she is very experienced and knows well how to deal with similar situations.
Turkey have a chance to escape at the top of the group, however Croatia are superior and with no room for another negative result. The combination bet X2 & Kramaric to score at odds of 3.45 on Stoiximan's Bet Builder.
Scotland and Spain clash in Glasgow for Group A matchday 2 of the competition. The hosts had a completely successful premiere as they beat Cyprus 3-0.
They took the lead in the 21st minute (McGinn), found two more goals in the finale (87', 93') through McTominay and were in control throughout the match. In a group completed by Norway and Georgia, Scotland will fight for 2nd place.
With players mainly competing in the Premier League, Championship, Rangers and Celtic, Scotland's roster has been upgraded and looks capable of taking them to the finals of a major competition.
Spain's task against Norway also proved relatively easy. With 64% ball possession and xGoals 1.71 - 0.69, "furia roja" prevailed 3-0 thanks to goals from Olmos (13') and Joselou (84', 85').
Spain need a good run at Euro 2024, as the recent World Cup left them with a bitter taste with their elimination by Morocco in the round of 16. There is plenty of talent in De La Fuente's squad, but the question is consistency in efficiency as it lacks a classic goal scorer in its offensive line.
Scotland has good momentum, Spain is superior and a big favorite for the first place in the group. However, the match in Glasgow is not easy and the athleticism of the hosts can add suspense to the match. The combination bet Goal/Goal & Under 3,5 at 3.35 by Stoiximan.
