High-odds football betting predictions this weekend

Croatia hosts France in Split in a first clash from the Nations League 1/4-finals between these two powerful teams. Stay with us because we will preview it right away in these High-odds football betting predictions this weekend.

Croatia are finalists from the previous Nations League tournament when they lost the final against Spain. Now Zlatko Dalic’ team is motivated to reach the final again – and maybe this time win it.

In their last match the Blazers faced Portugal at home and got a point after a 1-1 draw. The hosts were one goal behind, but Josko Gvardiol equalised for Croatia. Now the Balkan team is aware that they must win against France because the second leg in Paris will be very difficult.

Luka Modric will lead Croatia with the captain armband once again. Real Madrid’s midfield maestro remains a key player in Dalic’ system, despite his age.

France will arrive in Split with Kylian Mbappe back in the team. The super star have not played for France since September, but now he’s back in action. And that’s bad news for Croatia – Mbappe will be the primary threat for their defense. He has 48 goals in 86 appearances for Les Bleus – pretty impressive stats for sure.

Meanwhile PSG’s young star Desire Doue got his first call-up for the national team. Doue is having a pretty good first season with Les Parisians and he won Luis Enrique’s trust.

But forget about Mbappe and Doue because Ousmane Dembele is the player in form in France’s squad. PSG’s star has scored 21 goals in all competitions since the beginning of 2025. This makes him the deadliest player in Europe at the moment – he’s just amazing since New Year.

That’s the High-odds football betting predictions this weekend for the Nations League 1/4-finals clash between Croatia and France. Les Bleus are favorites, but it’s always tough against Croatia. Let’s see!
