The odds
4.00Draw
3.75England
1.80
Take the bookmaker’s margin out of those odds and the market makes it 23% Croatia, 25% draw, 52% England.
What we found
- Croatia missing CB Martin Erlic (injury) and RB Josip Juranovic (illness)
- England's Nico O'Reilly withdrew injured; Harry Kane confirmed to start his 124th cap
- England lost 3-2 to Spain then beat Czechia 2-0 earlier in this window
- Match played behind closed doors under UEFA sanction on Croatia
Our call
England are favoured but the fair edge over the market is marginal once the bookmaker margin is stripped out, and defensive absences on both sides roughly cancel out, so it falls short of a value pick.
