Croatia is set to take on France in a pivotal Nations League quarter-final, with the winner advancing to face either the Netherlands or Spain in the semi-finals. After an unimpressive Euro 2024 group stage, Croatia earned eight points in their Nations League group, securing a second-place finish. Though they have struggled historically against France, they managed a recent victory in 2022. Didier Deschamps leads France, who topped their group this year, aiming for improvement after a disappointing showing in the last Nations League. Both teams bring strong performances into this important matchup.
"Croatia's recent form has been strong, with only one loss in their last seven matches across all competitions, despite a challenging historical record against France."
"Didier Deschamps has guided Les Bleus for nearly 13 years, boasting a record of 105 wins from 165 matches, confirming his intention to step down after the 2026 World Cup."
