Wales vs. Croatia Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Wales vs. Croatia

Wales find themselves on the brink of a challenging road to secure an automatic spot in the Euro 2024, hosting Croatia in a crucial Group D clash at Cardiff City Stadium this Sunday.

The Welsh team knows that their chances of claiming one of the top two positions hinge on a must-win scenario in their final three matches. Meanwhile, despite a rare midweek defeat, Croatia maintains its status as the frontrunner in the race for a direct ticket to Germany.

While there is still an alternative pathway available, Wales has found themselves in a precarious position due to a series of mixed outcomes in the European Championship qualifiers. As of now, they are in pursuit of the Group D leaders, Turkey and Croatia.
