England will be looking to continue their impressive run of results on the road when visiting Croatia in the Nations League this weekend. The Three Lions have rattled off eight straight away wins in competitive fixtures outside of this summer’s World Cup , when they also famously edged out Mexico at Azteca Stadium.
This represents a tougher test than many faced during that sequence, but we’re still backing Thomas Tuchel’s team to come out on top at 5/6 in our first Croatia vs England prediction.

Head-to-Head
Croatia vs England head-to-head record
These teams have become familiar foes in recent years, with Croatia famously enjoying a 2-1 win after extra-time in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
However, England have since held the upper hand, including when prevailing 1-0 at Euro 2020 and 4-2 at the World Cup in June, with Harry Kane hitting a double in Texas before Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also netted.

Form Guides
Croatia form guide
The Blazers rallied to beat Panama and Ghana at this summer’s showpiece event but went down 2-1 to Portugal in the round of 32. Slaven Bilic subsequently replaced Zlatko Dalic as head coach and made a bright start to his second stint in charge with a 2-1 away win over Czechia , thanks to goals from 41-year-old Luka Modric and Marco Pasalic.
Croatia became the latest team to find world champions Spain too hot to handle when beaten 4-1 in Seville on Tuesday night, but Dion Beljo headed home Ivan Perisic’s cross to keep them in contention at half-time and both he and Pasalic had shots blocked in the second period. The Blazers have been a nice side to watch for some time now and are always capable of carving out chances with their stylish passing moves.
However, an ageing midfield struggled to match the Three Lions for energy and intensity a few months ago, so a BOYLE Sports price boost of 11/4 for an away win and both teams to score stands out from the Croatia vs England odds.
England form guide
After all the excitement of this summer’s third-place finish, England kicked off their Nations League campaign with a 3-2 home loss to Spain , but they did play their part in a cracking contest. That was followed by what ultimately turned out to be a comfortable 2-0 triumph over Czechia in Prague , but only after Pavel Sulc’s first-half sending-off.
Anthony Gordon appears to have blossomed for a move to Barcelona and scored in both games, alongside long-standing skipper Kane , who has now struck 87 times in 123 international appearances.
However, having gone behind inside two minutes against Spain , England were again guilty of some defensive lapses in concentration early on versus Czechia , who had a couple of decent half-chances on the counter.
Tuchel will be determined to avoid any similar sloppiness at the back at the start of this match, which makes a BOYLE Sports Super Boost of EVS for the Three Lions to score the first goal worth adding to our Croatia vs England betting tips.
