Croatia were weak in their opener v England, and fully deserved to lose and not to score as there is less class in the team after several key players retired since last competition. There is no Mandzukic to turn these games around, and Modric is not not getting any younger and has a very tough season in his legs. Against England they were in trouble from the start, and Dalic’s team could not create any late pressure either when needed.
This time Croatia are expected to take the initiative, and control the flow with a 4-1-2-3 formation, but the form of the team is poor as they have won only two of their last 8 games, and those wins are over Cyprus and Malta! Maybe it is not form at all which is weak, perhaps the class has to be downgraded too?
There will be more room for Brozovic to build up play and Czechs will not be pressuring as high as England.. but we will see. I doubt very much. No major injury worries, fullback Barisic unlikely to feature.
Czechs lost the xG - goal expectation by about 2-1 to Scotland, but won with two beautiful goals from Schick, and the result was some kind of daylight robbery. Or was it a good match plan? They were passive in that game even if there is class for possession play as there there are technical and skillful players, but the counter strategy seems to in the genes of the Czechs. Today it comes as handy though, as along with set pieces it is from where they do score. Defense is solid,Sevilla keeper Vaclik played a good game after a difficult season in his club, and spirits are high. What they need here is a point.
Glasgow is the venue so no home advantage for neither team, also Czechs are basically free of injuries, and after the first successful match unlikely to change personnel.
In my papers Croatia are only narrow favourites, and the X2 offers good value!

克罗地亚在对英格兰的首场比赛中表现很弱，他们完全应该输掉比赛而不是进球，因为自从上一场比赛几名关键球员退役后，球队的水平下降了。曼祖基奇无法扭转这些比赛，莫德里奇也不再年轻，他的双腿已经经历了一个非常艰难的赛季。对阵英格兰时，他们从一开始就遇到了麻烦，而达利克的球队也不能在需要的时候制造任何压力。
这一次克罗地亚有望占据主动，用4-1-2-3阵型控制局面，但球队的状态很差，因为他们在过去的8场比赛中只赢了两场，而且是战胜塞浦路斯和马耳他!也许根本就不是形式薄弱，也许这门课也要被降级?
布罗佐维奇将会有更多的空间来加强比赛，而且捷克的压力不会像英格兰那么大。但我们将拭目以待。我非常怀疑。没有大伤的担心，后卫巴里西亚不太可能出场。
捷克凭借舒适队的两粒漂亮进球赢得了比赛，结果就像是光天耀地的抢劫。或者这是一个好的比赛计划?他们在这场比赛中是被动的，即使有技术和技巧的球员，但反击策略似乎在捷克人的基因中。但是今天，它变得和定位球一样方便，因为它是他们得分的地方。防守是稳固的，塞维利亚门将瓦克利克在俱乐部度过了一个艰难的赛季后打了一场出色的比赛，士气高涨。他们需要的是一个点。
格拉斯哥是比赛场地，所以两支球队都没有主场优势，而且捷克人基本上没有伤病，而且第一场成功的比赛后不太可能更换人员。
我看好捷克不败，竞彩选择让球负。
