Scotland vs. Croatia Prediction 

Croatia have won the last two meetings between them and Scotland, which gives them a slight edge coming into this match.

Scotland have shown they can make things uncomfortable for top sides. However, it will be difficult for them to overcome a well-oiled Croatian machine. The away side should get all three points, although the hosts won’t make it easy for them.
