CRO vs ARM Dream11: Croatia’s stagnation after the 2018 FIFA World Cup has been quite clear. An ageing squad that has lost some key veterans such as Vedran Corluka and Ivan Rakitic without the potential required motivation over those three years has seen them lose to both Spain and England in the Nations League then scrape Euro 2020 qualification with draws against Azerbaijan and Wales as well as a defeat to Hungary. That was then followed by a Nations League campaign in which they collected three points in six matches including the concession of 16 goals in those six games. Basically, in summary, they haven’t ‘got up for it’. A European Championships could be the carrot that creates a sense of urgency once more for Zlatko Dalic’s side.

Likely Winner:
Armenia are certainly the ones with the wind in their sails heading into this friendly encounter, and they can afford to play with the handbrake off at the Gradski Stadion. Dalic may use this opportunity to give his less-experienced players a run-out before the Euros kicks off, but the Chequered Ones should still march to a convincing win on Tuesday. In our CRO vs ARM Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-0 win for Croatia in this match.
