*odds as of 6/12/2022
Croatia vs. France slow start, wild finish ends in 1-1 draw I UEFA Nations League
France has an impressive record against Croatia, winning six of the nine matches played between the two teams. Croatia is 0-6-3 against France.
France is 3-0-1 in its past four meetings against Croatia with an 11-6 edge in goals scored in that span.
France is expected to get a boost from the return of Kylian Mbappe, who hurt his knee in the opener against Denmark, and Karim Benzema, the Ballon d'Or candidate who did not play in the first match against Croatia. Benzema scored a La Liga-best 27 goals for Real Madrid this season.
FOX Sports soccer expert Doug McIntyre said the return of Mbappe and Benzema should give France enough firepower to get a much-needed win.
"With the Stade de France hosting the rematch between these teams, it’s hard to see Croatia walking away with a point this time, let alone all three," McIntyre said.
