2018 World Cup Betting Predictions: Croatia vs. Denmark Odds
Can Luka Modric and Croatia’s golden generation of footballers push the Blazers to their first appearance in a World Cup quarterfinal since 1998?
Croatia vs. Denmark Odds and Betting Analysis
World Cup Moneyline odds: Croatia -135
Date: July 1, 2:00 PM ET
Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
Denmark are a defensively sound team with a top quality keeper in Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel. The Danish Dynamite have allowed just six goals in their last 16 matches and the lone goal they conceded in the tournament was a VAR awarded penalty to Australia.
Despite tallying seven goals in the group stage, Croatia have failed to score before half time in 11 of their last 14 matches. You’re not alone if you’re thinking this match could be a low-scoring affair. The under (-263) is heavy favourite on the 2.5-goal total at Sports Interaction.
The first half under (0.5) is paying plus money at +124 on the Asian first half total. That might be a more strategic approach for under bettors.
Croatia
The Blazers are one of only three teams entering the last 16 of the World Cup with a perfect record. Sports Interaction lists Croatia as the sixth top favourite to win the tournament at +1000. Luka Modric, the magician in Croatia’s midfield, is a candidate to take home the Golden Ball trophy as the top player of the tournament. He’s listed at +1300 to take the honour at SIA’s future book.
Denmark
Christian Erikson is the key player for the Danes. The attacking midfielder has either scored or assisted on all of Denmark’s goals in Russia. He has 23 goals in 81 caps for his country and he’s listed at +380 to score anytime during Sunday’s match.
Croatia vs. Denmark Prediction
Croatia 1, Denmark 0
First team to score should win and we expect that marker to come in the second half. Sports Interaction is paying +326 on the half-time/full-time prop for draw/Croatia.
