Croatia v Iceland Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Croatia v Iceland betting tips: Croatia and Iceland play their World Cup qualifying play-off second leg on Tuesday and we have free match predictions for the clash.

After a 0-0 draw in Iceland on Friday night this tie is still for the taking and Croatia’s recent record, all be it under a now former manager, is not great. They have lost their last three home matches including a defeat to Scotland, while Iceland are unbeaten in five away matches, winning three times.

In the latest betting odds for Croatia v Iceland the home side are strong favourites at 4/11 (Betfred), the draw is 4/1 (Bet Victor) and Iceland are the 11/1 (Bet365) outsiders.

In the ‘to qualify’ odds Croatia are overwhelming favourites at 2/9 with Bet365 while Iceland are available at 7/2 with Coral.

Instinct here says Iceland are too big a price to win this match at 11/1. Croatia won their first six qualifying matches in the group stages then went four without a win, losing three and then only managing a 0-0 draw against Iceland in the first leg.

In Iceland’s 10 group matches they won five, lost three and drawn twice. Away from home they won two and drawn two following a 1-0 loss to Cyprus. Recent draws in Switerland and Norway indicate Iceland are capable of defying the odds here.

In Iceland’s recent run of form away from home Johann Gudmundsson has scored four times in his last five away matches, he is 9/1 (Betfred) to score anytime in Croatia and that is worth a punt for our first football betting tip.

The odds suggest Croatia will win this match with ease but there is no way they can be backed at 4/11 given their recent form and inability to take a lead away from Iceland in the first leg, despite the hosts not even having a shot on goal. For that reason the value is in backing Iceland or the draw after 90 minutes at 23/10 with Betway.
