Croatia - Finland Predictions
Penultimate round of qualifying group stage for the 2018 World Championship and Group I is the most evenly matched because four teams currently have options to get the first place, which gives the direct classification, or the second, that allows the consolation of disputing the repesca. Croatia and Iceland are at the top of the table with 16 points each and Turkey and Ukraine are ahead with 14 points each. Finland, with 7 points, and Kosovo, with 1 point, complete the group. Having the Croatians better than the Icelanders, with two wins they would have practically guaranteed the qualification, and more considering the few goals that are seen in this group, in which the last six encounters and twelve of the last fifteen saw as much as two goals each.
Croatia leads Group I with 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Finland, penultimate, only outnumbered Kosovo, but is far from Croatia, Iceland, Turkey and Ukraine.
The Croatians have only conceded three goals in this qualifying phase.
Finland has only scored one goal in the last 270 minutes they have played at home.
