The Croatian national team has vast experience in the Nations League. Zlatko Dalic’s team knows how to succeed at this level. In the last draw, Croatia managed to win even a tougher group than now. As a result, they made it to the final and only lost to Spain in a penalty shootout.
After two rounds Scotland has zero points in its asset and occupies the last line in the group. The national team, after failing at the Euros in exactly the same way and with the same problems, failed in the Nations League. The team has serious personnel losses in each of the lines. Because of which Steve Clarke can not use the optimal lineup. Scotland often plays worse away than at home. And now the team is also in terrible shape – six matches in a row without a win.
