Didier Deschamps' France rarely lose. When they do, they are often hard-fought. Even at Euro 2024, where they were knocked out in the semi-finals and ended up with the bronze medal, they gave the Spaniards a good fight and had a chance to return in the closing stages, but they could not do so—2-1.
Another poor display came in the first game of the current UEFA Nations League when France lost 3-1 to Italy, who conceded a goal in the first minute. Didier Deschamps' men then put in an unimpressive display against Croatia, losing 2-0, and are now in danger of being knocked out of the tournament.
Croatia
The Croatian national team has slowed down considerably after winning silver and bronze at two successful World Cups. Coach Zlatko Dalic has been gradually overhauling the squad, but combining this process with maintaining good results has been difficult. As a result, the Checkers did not even make it out of their group at Euro 2024.
The Croatians also enjoyed mixed success in the UEFA Nations League group stages. They won, drew, and lost twice in six matches to finish second in their group. However, they played their best football in their first quarter-final against France, winning 2-0 with a goal and an assist from 36-year-old Ivan Perisic.

Expert Betting Tips
France is one of only three winners in the history of the UEFA Nations League, so they know what it takes to succeed in this tournament. They suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Croatia in their opening match, but they return to the Stade de France, where they will do their best to bounce back. The hosts are more athletic and skillful, while the Croatians are not young enough to play two games in three days at such a high level.
As noted, the French need to make up the two-goal difference in this match, so the tricolor will not be sitting back in defense. Even in other circumstances, the Stade de France is always aggressive, bold, and attacking.
