Croatia vs France Preview - Mbappe in Form

Croatia edged into the 2025 Nations League quarter-finals and were winless in their final three Group A1 matches.

The Vatreni drew 3-3 with Poland, lost 1-0 at Scotland and were held to a 1-1 draw against Portugal.

Zlatko Dalic’s team are in inconsistent long-term form and have failed to win in seven of their previous nine internationals.

France finished top of Nations League Group A2 and won four of their six matches.

Les Blues won four of their final five group games, with three victories coming away against Israel (4-1), Belgium (2-1) and Italy (3-1).

French captain Mbappe missed the final four Nations League matches. The forward returns to the squad here and has scored 17 goals in his last 17 appearances for Real Madrid.

Didier Deschamps’ France are unbeaten in four of their previous five meetings against Croatia, winning three.

Mbappe has scored two career goals against the Vatreni in three matches.

Verdict

Croatia v France

France ended their Nations League group in excellent form and Mbappe has one of the best scoring records in Europe this season. Croatia are out of form and a French win with Mbappe goals are the best picks.
