England have responded to their opening defeat against Spain with three consecutive Nations League victories. Those results leave Thomas Tuchel’s side second on nine points, with a draw enough to reach the quarter-finals.
The Three Lions have scored a competition-high 14 goals in four group matches, averaging 3.5 per game. They’ve also recorded three straight clean sheets, including their latest 3-0 victory over Czechia.
England have won their last four meetings with Croatia, including victories at Wembley in 2018 and 2021. Another success on Thursday can be backed at 1/4 with William Hill.

Croatia have lost three Nations League matches in a row since beating Czechia in their opening fixture. Slaven Bilić’s side sit third on three points, with their final group game against Czechia still to come.
Defensive problems have been costly, with Croatia conceding 13 goals across those three consecutive defeats. All four group fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while both teams have scored in three.
The visitors have won just five of their last 15 away Nations League matches (D1, L9), underlining the challenge awaiting them at Wembley. A surprise Croatian victory can be backed at 10/1 with William Hill.
