Result – Italy 1 – 1 Croatia

Four times world winner Italy can’t play like a legend from few years. Though they win 2006 world cup but it claim as a coincidence. Among all world cup winning countries, Italy little bit sallowish. Though this match draw would a expected result cause Croatia isn’t a team to neglect but people expect more from Italy. Though Italy played classic and their done their first goal within 11′ by Antonio Candreva but can’t stay in lead. Within next 4 minutes Ivan Perisic scored goal and make score level.

Preview before the match –

Croatia’s 4 match winning streak was broken by Argentina in the friendly match before this match. Croatia is in top form at the moment and they played quite well against Argentina as well. Their performance at the moment is on top level. They scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches, kept 4 clean sheets and only allowed 2 goals to be scored against them. So basically they are very good at the moment. But still in my eyes they will be playing this match as the underdogs.

Italy’s last loss was 4 matches ago and it came against Uruguay in the world cups. After that they are undefeated till now. They defeated Netherlands, Norway, Azerbaijan and Malta before coming to this match. They had very poor performance in the world cups but they are redeeming themselves. So in my eyes they are the favorites to win this match.
