France vs Croatia prediction and preview
Didier Deschamps's France began their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 1-0 win over Sweden on Matchday 1. Despite being far from their best, Kylian Mbappe managed to score the decisive goal that earned Les Blues a crucial three points. A win for France vs Croatia on Tuesday will boost their confidence heading into next month's clash against Portugal. However, France will be without Kylian Mbappe after the PSG star tested positive for coronavirus.

On the other hand, Croatia are coming off a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Euro champions Portugal in their opening game of the UEFA Nations League. Substitute Bruno Petkovic got a consolation goal late in added time as Croatia were outclassed by Fernando Santos' side. It's a big ask for Zlatko Dalic's men to get a result against France but there is added pressure on Croatia to get a win after having gotten off to such a poor start in the tournament. Our France vs Croatia prediction is that France will win the game.
