EnglandNo absentees
Croatia
England welcome Croatia to Wembley on Thursday 12 November, a 7.45pm kick-off in the Nations League, and Thomas Tuchel‘s side will fancy another big night against opponents they thrashed 7-0 in Rijeka just five weeks ago.
England sit second in Group A3 and have scored 14 goals in their four Nations League games, with only a 3-2 home loss to Spain blotting the copybook. Croatia, by contrast, are third and in freefall under Slaven Bilic, having shipped 13 goals across their last three outings. We have worked through the England vs Croatia odds for our best bets, two premium picks and a score prediction below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects England to have far too much for a leaky Croatia at Wembley, in a goal-filled night where the Three Lions win comfortably but their visitors manage to grab a consolation.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 3.5 goals | 31/25 (easyBet) | England have racked up 14 goals in four Nations League games, an average of 3.5 a game on their own, and put seven past Croatia away from home only last month. Even with Croatia likely to force a goal of their own at the other end, this game looks well stocked for goals back at Wembley. At 31/25, over 3.5 goals is a tempting way to back another high-scoring evening in north-west London. |
| England 3-1 Croatia | 11/1 (easyBet) | A straight repeat of the 7-0 in Rijeka is asking a lot a second time, and with Tuchel likely to ring the changes we expect England to win well rather than run riot. Croatia have still found the net in three of their last four, so a consolation through Ante Budimir or Andrej Kramaric is on the cards. At 11/1, England 3-1 is a value correct-score angle on a comfortable home win with a goal in it for the visitors. |

How England go into the game
England go into this one second in Group A3 on nine points, a point and a place behind Spain, and all but assured of a top-two finish and a Nations League quarter-final. Thomas Tuchel’s side have been devastating going forward, scoring 14 goals in their four group games, and their only slip was a 3-2 home defeat to Spain back in September.
Form could hardly be better. The last time out was a 3-0 Wembley win over Czech Republic, following that stunning 7-0 rout of Croatia in Rijeka and a 2-0 win in Prague. Harry Kane has been scoring freely and closes in on Peter Shilton’s England caps record this window, with Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon also on the scoresheet during a rampant October. With top spot already hard to reach, Tuchel may use the night to freshen things up.
How Croatia go into the game
Croatia arrive at Wembley in trouble, third in Group A3 on three points and scrapping to avoid a relegation play-off from League A. Slaven Bilic, appointed in July after Zlatko Dalic stepped down, has overseen one win and three heavy defeats, and his ageing, misfiring side have managed just four goals in four Nations League games.
The recent run makes grim reading. Croatia beat Czech Republic 2-1 to open the campaign but have since lost 4-1 in Seville, 7-0 to England in Rijeka and 2-1 at home to Spain. The forward line of Ante Budimir, Andrej Kramaric and Igor Matanovic has barely fired, but all three found the net at some stage of that run, so there is at least a flicker of a threat with Luka Modric still pulling strings in midfield at 40.
England vs Croatia head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03/10/26 | Croatia | 0-7 | England |
| 17/06/26 | England | 4-2 | Croatia |
| 13/06/21 | England | 1-0 | Croatia |
| 18/11/18 | England | 2-1 | Croatia |
| 12/10/18 | Croatia | 0-0 | England |
| 11/07/18 | Croatia | 2-1 | England |
England hold the clear upper hand in recent meetings, even if Croatia own the most famous result between the pair, the 2-1 extra-time win in the 2018 World Cup semi-final in Moscow. Since then England have won four of the last five, including a 1-0 Euro 2020 group win at Wembley, a 4-2 victory at the 2026 World Cup group stage in the United States and that record 7-0 away win last month. The all-time record still favours England, and recent evidence points firmly their way.
England vs Croatia predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| England to win | 13/50 (easyBet) | ⭐⭐⭐ | England have won three of their four group games and put seven past this Croatia side away from home only last month. |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 51/50 (easyBet) | ⭐⭐ | Croatia have scored in three of their last four and should carry enough to force a goal against a much-changed England back line. |
| Over 3.5 goals | 31/25 (easyBet) | ⭐⭐ | England have hit 14 goals in four group games, an average of 3.5 a game before Croatia’s own threat is factored in. |
| England 3-1 Croatia | 11/1 (easyBet) | ⭐⭐ | England’s firepower against a Croatia defence shipping goals for fun points to a comfortable home win with a consolation in it. |
England vs Croatia score prediction
England have far too much for Croatia on this evidence, but a straight repeat of the Rijeka rout is asking a lot a second time. Tuchel’s side have scored 14 goals in four Nations League games and will back themselves to win comfortably at Wembley, while Croatia, for all their defensive problems, still carry enough in Ante Budimir and Andrej Kramaric to grab a goal against what may be an experimental home side. We expect a convincing England win with a Croatia consolation in it. Score prediction: England 3-1 Croatia.
