Croatia vs. Slovakia

Croatia plays solid defense everywhere and has not allowed a goal in four straight matches. In their last 10 World Cup qualifying home games, they've allowed three goals with seven of those matches sailing UNDER 2.5 goals. Slovakia's defense has been very impressive, as well, allowing three goals in four matches, but they have only one win, 2-0 over Cyprus, as the offense is not the strength of the team. They come off a 1-0 loss to Russia despite allowing just one shot on target. 16 of their last 24 games have gone UNDER 2.5, including eight of 10 on the road, and this shapes up as a fierce defensive duel. Play this match to stay UNDER the total.
