Cyprus vs Croatia: Preview

Cyprus chances of making it to the playoffs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar looks very tight as only 5 points separate the teams from third place to sixth place. However Cyprus are tied on points with Malta on four points but find themselves in last place in Group H due to goal difference. Cyprus only win came against Slovenia on matchday 3 with Ioannis Pittas scored the winner late in the first half. Since then they have lost their last three group games and have failed to score in all three of them. Their task does not get any easier as they face Croatia next.

The 2018 World Cup runners up Croatia are top of Group J with 13 points from six games played with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Croatia are on unbeaten since their matchday one loss to Slovenia and have been impressive keeping clean sheets in all of the last five matches. Croatia avenged their loss against Slovenia from matchday one in their last game as they beat them 3-0 thanks to goals from Marko Livaja, Mario Pasalic and Nikola Vlasic. It should be a easy game for Zlatko Dalic’s men when they face Cyprus on Friday and will surely look for a win and extend their lead at the top of Group H.
