Croacia kept almost the same squad who won the bronze medal in Qatar World Cup and made a great performance during the whole tournament. Only CB Lovren is a remarkable absence, and only Benfica’s striker Petar Musa could make his debut.

They don’t have important absences, only reserve’s goalkeeper Ivusic, U21 midfielder Sucic and reserve striker Petkovic. So we could see a similar lineup as we saw against Morocco for example. Have a very talented midfield with Modric, Kovacic and Brozovic, able to dominate the game against any kind of rival, while in attack they have a lot of danger with Perisic.

On the other hand, Wales is in a period of changes. Their main player Gareth Bale, the best one and the hero in key games, announced his retirement. Another important player like Joe Allen left the national team too, which means that for this fixtures a total of 7 players without experience in the national team have been called up by coach Robert Page.

Need to add as well the absences of goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, starter in 2 of the 3 games that Wales played in the previous World Cup, CB Ben Davies and striker Brennan Johnson.

The Nottingham Forest striker was an important player, as he has already scored 7 goals in the Premier League and is expected to be a starter usually with Wales. Without him, only Tom Bradshaw could be the replacement (who is playing in Millwall from Championship), and other players have no experience in the national team or have not been playing too much with their clubs, like Kieffer Moore (only 1 minutes played in the last 2 months), Harry Wilson (starter just 1 time so far in Premier League) or Daniel James, who has even less minutes played so far.

With all these absences and the squad called for this game, we’ll see a very weak Wales national team. Many players without experience, others without minutes in their clubs, and a team who isn’t accustomed to play together - just the opposite as Croatia who will be almost the same squad and lineup as in the World Cup. Only Ramsey is a dangerous player in Wales and could be the substitute of Gareth Bale as reference and key player, but he is very irregular too.

Croatia will dominate this match and should win easily here.

克罗地亚几乎保留了在卡塔尔世界杯上获得铜牌的阵容，并在整个比赛中表现出色。只有拉夫伦缺阵，只有本菲卡的前锋佩塔尔·穆萨可以首秀。

他们没有重要的缺阵球员，只有替补门将伊乌西奇，U21中场苏契奇和替补前锋佩特科维奇。所以我们可以看到和对阵摩洛哥时相似的阵容。他们拥有莫德里奇、科瓦契奇和布罗佐维奇这样的天才中场，能够在对抗任何对手的比赛中占据主导地位，而佩里西奇在进攻中也有很大的危险。

另一方面，威尔士正处于变革时期。他们的主要球员加雷斯·贝尔，最好的球员，关键比赛的英雄，宣布退役。另一位重要球员乔·艾伦也离开了国家队，这意味着在这场比赛中，主教练罗伯特·佩奇总共征召了7名没有国家队经验的球员。

此外，威尔士在上届世界杯的3场比赛中有2场首发出场的门将韦恩·亨尼西、本·戴维斯和前锋布伦南·约翰逊也缺席了比赛。

这位诺丁汉森林前锋是一名重要的球员，因为他已经在英超联赛中打进了7球，并且被认为是威尔士的首发球员。如果没有他，只有汤姆·布拉德肖可能会成为替补(他从英冠转会到米尔沃尔)，其他球员没有国家队经验，或者没有在俱乐部出场太多，比如基弗·摩尔(过去两个月只出场1分钟)，哈里·威尔逊(到目前为止在英超只首发过1次)，或者丹尼尔·詹姆斯，到目前为止他的出场时间更少。

由于所有这些缺阵，加上本次比赛的大名单，我们将看到一支非常弱的威尔士国家队。许多球员没有经验，有些球员在俱乐部没有出场时间，球队也不习惯在一起比赛——这与克罗地亚队正好相反，他们的阵容和阵容几乎和世界杯一样。在威尔士，只有拉姆塞是一个危险的球员，他可以作为贝尔的参考和关键球员，但他也非常不稳定。

克罗地亚将在这场比赛中占据主导地位，应该会在这里轻松取胜。
