Malta vs. Croatia

Croatia is in second place in the Group H World Cup Qualifying round behind Russia. They need the win, but they have to head out on the road for this one. They'll also be without outstanding injured midfielder Mateo Kovacic, while left-back Borna Barisic will miss the game via suspension. Croatia will lean on a strong defense that has allowed three goals in its last six road contests. That includes three 1-0 losses at Belgium, England, and Slovenia, a 1-0 win at Slovakia, and a 0-0 DRAW with Russia. Five of their last six road games have gone UNDER 3 goals. Malta doesn't have a strong offense, netting just four goals in four home games. They've also scored five goals in their last six World Cup Qualifying games while getting shut out four times. Play this match to stay UNDER the total.
