Russia vs Croatia Prediction
Why we picked this for Russia vs Croatia
Our pick for Russia vs Croatia in World Cup is Under 2.5 goals, with 88% confidence. Recent form: 3 of Russia's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (2.6 goals per game in total), against 2 of 5 for Croatia (1.8 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.
The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 88%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 2-2. The pick lost.
