Match Preview
Croatia, which is the 2018 World Cup runner-up, still has a number of star players such as Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic, Mateo Kovacic and Ante Rebic. Zlatko Dalic’s side put in a solid run at the 2022 World Cup winning three and losing two, including dramatic wins over Spain in the last 16 and Brazil in the quarter-finals.
However, they had to admit Argentina’s superiority in the semifinals with a score of 3-0. But Croatia managed to occupy third place after a 2-1 win over Morocco.
Wales, who reached the semifinals of Euro 2016, have suffered a dip in form at the 2022 World Cup with just one point from three matches. Robert Page’s team lost to Iran and England and drew with the United States.
Going to Croatia’s headquarters, Wales will not be strengthened by Gareth Bale. The former Real Madrid and Tottenham star announced his retirement on January 9, 2023 after leading Wales at the 2022 World Cup. This was reported on the official Twitter account @GarethBale11.

Without Bale, there are several young players who have the potential to become a mainstay for Robert Page to become a new star for Wales, such as Brennan Johnson. Johnson is a striker who plays for Nottingham Forest and is the club’s top scorer by scoring 7 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League this season.
Meanwhile, the hosts still rely on Luka Modric. The captain and Real Madrid star is still the brain and heart of his team despite being 37 years old.
