Croatia vs Slovenia Preview

Croatia head into this neighbourly fixture at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec on the back of a difficult run, with two defeats in their last three outings, including a 2-0 loss to Belgium on 2 June. Zlatko Dalić will view this as a final dress rehearsal before the World Cup, and a strong side captained by Luka Modrić, who is training with a protective mask after cheekbone surgery, is expected. Joško Gvardiol and Mateo Kovačić have also returned to fitness.

Slovenia arrive in mixed form, having managed just one win from their last two fixtures, with a 1-1 draw against Cyprus on 4 June hardly inspiring confidence. New coach Boštjan Cesar is overseeing a rebuilding project following a disappointing qualifying campaign that saw them miss out on the World Cup entirely. With only one victory across all historical meetings against Croatia, the visitors face a considerable challenge to upset the established order in this Balkan derby.

Croatia's home win at 1.36 represents the standout selection here. The Vatreni boast a commanding head-to-head record, winning seven of their all-time meetings against Slovenia while conceding just one defeat. Despite back-to-back losses heading into this fixture, Zlatko Dalić's side carry considerably more quality across every department, and the return of key personnel sharpens that edge further.

Slovenia's form offers little to trouble the hosts. A draw with Cyprus hardly inspires confidence, and Boštjan Cesar's rebuilding project remains in its infancy following a failed World Cup qualifying campaign. Croatia, by contrast, will treat this as a final dress rehearsal before the summer's showpiece tournament, with local pride adding extra motivation.

With Luka Modrić fit despite wearing a protective mask, Joško Gvardiol back in training after a broken leg, and Mateo Kovačić recovered from his Achilles issue, Croatia should field close to full strength. The under 2.5 goals line at N/A also merits attention given the cautious nature of pre-tournament friendlies, but the home win is our primary pick. 18+. Please gamble responsibly.

Trends to Know about Croatia vs Slovenia

• Croatia lead head-to-head record 7-1
• Croatia's key trio return from injury
• Slovenia winless in last two outings

A 3-4-1-2 against a 3-5-2 sets up a fascinating midfield contest, with Luka Modrić and Mateo Kovačić expected to dictate tempo for Croatia from the centre of the park. Slovenia's five-man midfield will look to crowd that space and deny the hosts the freedom they crave.

For Slovenia, Jan Oblak anchors a back three that must withstand the movement of Kramarić and Budimir up front. Both probable lineups carry reasonable confidence from multiple outlets, though the final selections may yet shift before kickoff in what promises to be a competitive friendly.
