France v Croatia: Preview

The countdown is on to the final, which will see France take on Croatia this Sunday in what has been one of the most exciting tournament we’ve seen in quite a while.

A second-half header from Samuel Umtiti was enough for France to beat Belgium 1-0 and make it to though to the final taking place in Moscow this weekend.

Croatia beat England in extra-time of their Semi-Final to secure their spot in the Finals, while France made it through after a tough Semi-Final battle against Belgium.

Bookmakers offer France as the favourites to win WC 2018, and if you’re betting on France v Croatia, make sure you check out the betting offers and price boosts above.

Croatia and France have only played each other a total of 5 times throughout their short history as a country, with Croatia never managing to beat the French side.

Although France are bookmakers favourites to win, Croatia will want to beat the French, and seek a victory over the nation that knocked them out of WC 1998 in the Semi-Finals.

Didier Deschamps’ French squad didn’t have the most convincing start to their campaign, but they’ve really turned on the quality over the last few games.

With the French side in such good form, it's no surprise that bookmakers offer them as the favourites to win the 2018 Final at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Sunday.

France have only failed to win once during all their matches of the tournament, a 0-0 draw with Denmark on the 26th of June when they met during the Group stages.

Griezmann and Mbappe have played a key role in the French sides success, and if they're on form, there's no reason why the can't beat the Croatians to claim the Jules Rimet trophy.

Croatia, on the other hand, looked fantastic in their early games, but have had a tough time getting through their last 3 matches, with all 3 going to either penalties or extra-time.

They were undefeated in Group D, even securing a 3-0 victory over Argentina, but then went to penalties against both Spain and Russia, and extra time against England in the Semi-Finals.

Dalic’s side are playing well, have great strength in their passing and tactical ability, however their defence hasn’t proved to be good, and this is where they could struggle against France.

If France can generate enough scoring opportunities, and they probably will with Mbappe in the team, the Croatians will face a major uphill challenge in their attempts to win the Final.

In saying that, they’ve always been the ones to watch in this competition, and shouldn’t be ruled out until we see how they're performing early on in the match.

The French side will be looking for redemption after losing the 2016 Euro Cup on home ground, while the Croatians will be looking to avenge the side that knocked them out of WC 1998.

Obviously there'll be a lot of pressure on both sides, it is the Final after-all, and while Croatia won’t be an easy team to beat, France should win Sunday's match.

France v Croatia: Stats

France and Croatia have played each other on just 5 occasions with France having the better record with 3 victories, 2 draws and never actually losing to Croatia.

The last time there was a France v Croatia fixture, was the international friendly at the Stade de France in Paris on the 29th of March in 2011, with the match ending in a 0-0 draw.

The match prior to that was the 2-2 draw that they played out in Group B of the European Championships on the 17th of June 2004 at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria.

The biggest win that France have had over Croatia over the 5 fixtures they've played was the 3-0 win at the Stade de France in Paris on the 13th of November back in 1999.

The last time they played each other in the competition was the aforementioned win for France during the Semi-Finals of WC 1998 when they beat them 2-1 at the Stade de France.

There'll be cause for celebration for either Luka Modric or Raphael Varane on Sunday as one of them will have been on the winning side in both the W. Cup and Champions League Final.

There have only been 8 players to have previously managed to do the same.

A win for France in WC 2018 Final would also see France coach Didier Deschamps become only the 3rd person to win the tournament as both a player and also a manager.

Croatia on the other hand will be the first team from Eastern Europe to reach a Final since Czechoslovakia back at WC 1962.
