[UEFA Nations League] Portugal has a significant edge in head-to-head encounters. Notably, both teams scored in each of the last five meetings.
Croatia complicated their position in the group by losing to Scotland. A narrow away defeat saw the "Checkered Ones" miss the chance to secure a quarterfinal spot early.
Now, the outcome will be decided in the head-to-head clash between these teams in the final round. Croatia will also be rooting for Poland against Scotland—if the Scots fail to win, the result of Croatia vs. Portugal will be irrelevant.
Portugal has justified their status as group favorites, having already secured a spot in the top eight. However, they won't simply go through the motions, as evidenced by their dominant win over Poland in the last round.
The Portuguese, led by the ever-motivated Ronaldo, will come to Croatia aiming for victory. With the hosts also needing points, an exciting match is expected.
Prediction: 1-0
