Euro Cup Qualifiers: Croatia vs Turkey Best Soccer Bets for Oct. 12

He recalled in-form Hajduk Split striker Marko Livaja, while one of the Bundesliga’s top scorers, Andrej Kramaric, is also available. They are expected to lead the line on Thursday night. Dalic can be particularly satisfied with his team’s defensive displays of late because Croatia kept three successive clean sheets in this section.

Though there were minor slip-ups in matches against Wales and Morocco, overall, Croatia demonstrated solid and balanced playing form, especially in defensive plays. This is a massive match in terms of the race to top the group.

Croatia has shown amazing potential in their offensive plays in recent games. The quality is on Croatia’s side, and it is very hard to argue against the home win. Andrej Kramaric has already scored four goals in the Bundesliga this season, and we will include him in our best Euro Cup player prop bets for Oct. 12.

Turkey Struggling on the Road

The visitors enter this clash equal on points with leaders Croatia, but their opponents have a game in hand on them. It’s important to know that the top two teams in the standings will book their Euro 2024 tickets.

Turkey’s football federation decided to part ways with coach Stefan Kuntz after the manager criticized his players following a 4-2 friendly loss to Japan. Turkey has won 12 of Kuntz’s 20 matches in charge, drawn three and lost five.

Former Italy and Roma striker Vincenzo Montella has been appointed as Turkey’s head coach. Montella, who represented Empoli, Genoa, Sampdoria, Roma and briefly Fulham during his playing days, left his post as coach of Turkish side Adana Demirspor in June.

Turkey will be without suspended defender Merih Demiral, and given their poor performance in a 1-1 draw with Armenia and struggles on the road, we will fade them in our soccer picks here. They will also be without Cenk Tosun and Enes Unal.

Croatia Holds Advantage

These two nations have been regular opponents in recent years, playing each other 11 times since 1996. Croatia holds the advantage with four wins to Turkey’s two, while there have been five draws. Neither side has ever landed back-to-back victories in this fixture.

Both teams have scored in three of Turkey’s last four matches, with the visitors scoring eight goals during the process. Croatia remains unbeaten in Group D after four matches and has conceded just once in four fixtures.

Croatia vs Turkey Betting Lines

Croatia’s Attacking Firepower Is Key

Croatia picked up a 2-0 victory in Turkey at the start of this qualifying campaign in March this year. Only one of their previous five head-t-heads ended with three or more goals scored, so don’t expect too many goals here.
