France to Claim First-Leg Victory?

Croatia booked their place in the Nations League quarter-finals by finishing second in League A, Group 1. Spain dominated, dropping just two points, while the Blazers won two, drew two, and lost two to snatch the runners-up spot.

France edged out Italy in the battle for first in Group 2. The French and Italians picked up 13 points apiece, but Les Bleus won the group on goal difference. Didier Deschamps bounced with four wins and a draw after losing at home to Italy in game one.

Zlatko Dalic’s troops are without a win in three, drawing with Poland and Portugal and losing to Scotland. In contrast, France head to Split on a great run of four wins and a draw from their previous five.

France are the form team, and Deschamps’ boys will be looking to bring a lead back to the Stade de France for the second leg. However, Croatia will be no pushovers on their own patch.
