In the direct duel for the first place against Denmark, Croatia played much better and they deservedly took the first place, which ensures their participation in the Nations League play-off with the 3 other best teams from League A. The Croats have everything in their hands at the moment, and the situation in the group before the last game is more than interesting. The Danes are playing against France, and both teams have something to play for. Denmark must chase a win and hope for a setback against the Croatians to return to the top spot, while the French must chase a win to avoid relegation. Like the French and Austria, for the same reason, he must give his best in this match. But against a very good team like Croatia, it really won't be easy to do. The strong form of the Croatians is evident not only from the ten points from the last four games, but also from the fact that since losing in the 1/8 finals of the European Championship against Spain, on penalties, Croatia have only lost the first leg against Austria and since then they have played as many as 14 games. The current league leaders are by no means lacking in self-confidence and those who survive in France are also the clear favorites in Austria. At the age of 37, Luka Modric is still the best player of the Croatian team and what he shows on the field is truly incredible. Of course, Modric does not do everything alone in the Croatian team, he has great support from a lot of quality footballers in his team like Kovacic, Brozovic, Pasalic, and we must not forget the great young players who will be world football stars in the coming years like Mayer, Gvardiol, Sosa and Vlasic. They play really well away from home and are currently on a streak of five wins with only one goal conceded, which only shows that Austria will have a more than difficult task to achieve victory here.

Realistically speaking, in the group with Denmark, France and Croatia, Austria is the weakest team and they are expected to be in the last position in the table. Somewhat unexpectedly, they managed to beat Croatia in the first round, but after that match they played four more and won only one point. The fact that Austria have failed to find the back of the net in the last two internationals is of course something to worry about. Of course, injuries to a couple of forwards can be blamed. But the game up front hasn't been too good either. In the match against France, they failed to direct a single shot at the opponent's goal, while against Denmark they only managed to shoot twice in the direction of the goalkeeper. Austria's attack relies too much on the experienced Marko Arnautovic, and all the teams know this very well, and the defense's attention is focused on him. So far in this competition, he managed to score only one goal and there is an obvious lack of another player who can replace him when he is not doing well. Like Arnautovic, Sabitzer plays quite poorly in the national team and all these problems contributed to these results. Honestly, Croatia is my favorite to win this match, but if we already have the possibility to choose, I think that a double chance is more than a good choice.
