A 2018 final and a 2022 third-place finish under the same manager is the kind of tournament resume the field above them does not always have. The sportsbook price reflects an honest read on the squad cycle, not a dismissal of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Group L draws them with England, Ghana and Panama. The full route is laid out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/ca\/world-cup-2026\/schedule\/\">2026 World Cup schedule<\/a> page, with official bracket detail at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/fifaplus\/en\/tournaments\/mens\/worldcup\/canadamexicousa2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIFA&#8217;s 2026 tournament hub<\/a>. The Las Vegas draw on 5 December 2025 was kind to Vatreni in one sense and difficult in another: the group is winnable for second, but England sit on top of it from kickoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-odds-to-win-the-world-cup\">Croatia odds to win the World Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-outright-odds\" id=\"outright-odds-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"widget_type\":\"outright-odds\",\"show_title\":\"true\",\"competition\":\"667aabbb773e0180d8f74d65\",\"active_market\":\"Outright Winner\",\"items_to_show\":\"10\",\"data_markets\":[{\"_id\":\"Outright Winner\",\"name\":\"Outright Winner\"}]}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>+10000 at bet365 puts Croatia in the same outright neighbourhood as Mexico, Uruguay, Japan and Morocco. These are sides the sportsbook market trusts to threaten a knockout upset without quite trusting to win seven games in a row across June and July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gap to England, Spain, Argentina, Brazil and France is real and the price reflects it. What the +10000 figure does not say out loud is that a generation built around Luka Modri\u0107, Mateo Kova\u010di\u0107 and Ivan Peri\u0161i\u0107 has already proven, twice in a row, that it is capable of running deeper than the outright market expects. The realistic ceiling is the semifinals; the realistic floor is a knockout exit to one of the top tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first job is the group. Vatreni need to finish above Ghana to lock in second behind England, or, if that slips, qualify as one of the best four third-place finishers across the 12 groups. Either route is on the table; only one of them is comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Croatia odds to win Group L<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>England are the heavy market choice to top Group L. Croatia are clear second-favourites in the group winner book, with Ghana and Panama priced as long-shots. Backing Croatia outright in the group is a value-light play; the more interesting Group L markets sit on margin, qualification status, and the Croatia vs England head-to-head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-world-cup-top-goalscorer-odds\">Croatia World Cup top goalscorer odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical scoring profile sits with the veterans. Ivan Peri\u0161i\u0107 is the squad&#8217;s leading active scorer at 38 goals in 150 caps, with Luka Modri\u0107 on 28 in 194. Neither shows up in the bet365 Golden Boot book yet. Usage at this stage of their careers makes it hard to justify a serious outright price on either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the sportsbook is willing to price Croatian forwards, the names are the obvious ones from the current attacking pool. Andrej Kramari\u0107 sits at +15000 (150\/1) for the Golden Boot at bet365, with Nikola Vla\u0161i\u0107 at +20000 (200\/1). Both quotes are a function of how many minutes the manager is likely to give them in the knockouts, not their absolute finishing quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/ca\/outright-markets\/world-cup-2026-top-goalscorer-betting-odds\/\">Full World Cup top goalscorer odds page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Player<\/th><th>Latest odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>N\/A<\/strong><\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>N\/A<\/strong><\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>+15000<\/strong><\/td><td>+15000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>+20000<\/strong><\/td><td>+20000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">Croatia at the 2026 World Cup: FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778489888898\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What group is Croatia in at the 2026 World Cup?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Croatia are in Group L alongside <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/england-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">England<\/a>, <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/ghana-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">Ghana<\/a> and <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/panama-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">Panama<\/a>.
