Croatia vs Armenia prediction 21.11.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualifications
• Date: Tuesday, 21st November 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)

Croatia had some unexpected problems qualifying for EURO, and they haven't secured it yet, but now they are just one step away. The only Croatia should do is win in the final round against Armenia, and it will be in Germany next year. Croatia lost two of the previous three matches, so they got into trouble during October. In the last round, they won 2-0 on the road against Latvia. Guests scored two goals after 16 minutes, so Zlatko Dalic's team had no difficulties picking up all three points. Croatia will welcome Armenia on Tuesday, and in that game, another win will help Dalic's team secure another major tournament appearance. 

Armenia improved in recent years, but they still don't have enough quality to qualify for a major tournament. If Armenia loses on Tuesday in Zagreb, they will finish the competition with eight points. Oleksandr Petrakov's team are without a win in the last five matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Wales. That match was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points. In that game, Armenia helped Croatia by not allowing Wales to win. Now, they will try to make a surprise against Croatia too. 

Croatia vs Armenia pick: Under 2.5 goals

Croatia hasn't impressed in attack lately. They scored only four goals in the last four matches. Also, three of those four games went under 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Armenia went under 2.5 goals in four of the previous five matches. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
