The Croatian national football team returns to action this Friday, when it will compete against Austria in Osijek , as part of the new edition of the League of Nations. It's already clear that this competition almost no one loves and often we see tight results and "surprises". However, the team that has Luka Modric in its ranks , a five-time Champions League winner, should not be afraid of anyone, and even if the Real midfielder has minimal minutes in this game, he could still make a difference on the pitch. Much is expected from Mateo Kovačić , who had a calmer season and should be fresh and motivated, and Marcelo Brozović has grown into one of the best midfielders in Italy, so he will certainly be one of the advantages on the pitch, while Lovre Majer excels in France and deserves also get minutes. Croatia is dangerous. And the Austrians are not naive, they showed at the Euro last year that they are a serious team under the coach Franco Frodo, because they were the toughest opponent of the champion of Italy and almost created a great sensation. A year later, behind this selected team are mediocre results in the World Cup qualifiers in which Austria did not become famous, but still has excellent footballers in its ranks, such as Marcel Sabitzer , who currently plays for Bayern. Marko Arnautovic and Michael Gregoritsch will be in charge of the goals for the Austrians, and there is also Karim Onisiwo, as another solution that Froda has ahead. Austria is decent, but on away soil, it gonna be difficult. Good visit and support for Croatia today and decent weather is expected for a football game.

Even if it's a close game, I think we have good odds for a home win considering the hungry wave of new players coming into the national ranks as Majer, Gvardiol and others...

Predicting 2-1 home win here.

克罗地亚国家足球队将于本周五重返赛场，届时将在奥西耶克对阵奥地利，这是新版国际联盟的一部分。很明显，这种竞争几乎没有人喜欢，我们经常看到激烈的结果和“惊喜”。然而，拥有5次欧冠冠军得主莫德里奇的球队不应该害怕任何人，即使这位皇家中场在这场比赛中只有最少的出场时间，他仍然可以在球场上做出改变。预计从马特奥剥č我ć,一个平静的季节,应该是新鲜和动力,和马塞洛Brozović已经成长为在意大利最好的中场球员之一,所以他肯定会在球场上的一个优势,而Lovre maj擅长在法国,也值得得到分钟。克罗地亚是危险的。奥地利人并不天真，他们在去年的欧洲杯上展示了他们是一支严肃的球队，在教练弗罗多的带领下，因为他们是意大利冠军最顽强的对手，几乎创造了巨大的轰动。一年后，这支入选的球队在世界杯预选赛中成绩平平，奥地利没有成名，但仍然有优秀的球员，比如目前效力于拜仁的马塞尔·萨比策。马尔科·阿瑙托维奇和迈克尔·格里戈里奇将负责奥地利队的进球，还有卡里姆·奥尼西沃，这是弗罗达提出的另一个解决方案。奥地利踢得不错，但在客场，这很困难。今天对克罗地亚的访问和支持很好，预计足球比赛会有不错的天气。

即使这是一场势均力敌的比赛，我认为我们有很大的机会在主场取胜，考虑到像梅杰、Gvardiol等人这样渴望进入国家队的新球员……

预测主场2-1获胜。
