Our estimate for this game:

Croatia

Croatia

Tunisia

Tunisia

The neutral location of Air Defence Stadium will be the setting for the friendly match between Croatia and Tunisia on Saturday. Despite some lackluster performances in Group D, Zlatko Dalic’s team secured their spot in the EURO 2024 finals. They will need to step up their game if they hope to be successful in the tournament in Germany. With Mateo Kovacic (Manchester City), Luka Modric (Real Madrid), and Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim) included in the squad for the March friendlies, a victory for the home team is likely.

Unfortunately, the Carthage Eagles did not make a strong showing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Due to their struggles in scoring, we believe that placing a bet on the expected visitors would be a wise choice. In their last encounter five years ago, Tunisia emerged victorious with a 2-1 score in a friendly match against Croatia. This could fuel Luka Modric and his team to seek redemption.

This game is scheduled for March 23, 2024 at 9:00 PM.

Prediction:
1-0

The featured player (Luka Modric):

Luka Modric

Luka Modric is widely recognized as one of the top central midfielders in international soccer. He developed his skills at Dinamo Zagreb’s youth academy and played 94 matches for the Modri from 2003 to 2008. In 2008, he joined Tottenham Hotspur on a six-year contract, for a transfer fee of £16.5 million.

On 16 August, 2008, Luka played his first game for Tottenham against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. Despite a 2-1 loss, the Croatian player showcased his exceptional passing skills. He went on to score 13 goals in 127 league matches for the Spurs before joining Real Madrid in 2012 for a record-breaking fee of £30 million. His debut with the team was in the return leg of the 2012 Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona.

Modric swiftly solidified his position as a consistent starter and undoubtedly contributed to the success of his team in securing two Champions League titles (2013/2014, 2015/2016). It should be noted that he was recognized as Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2014.

Highlighted Team (Tunisia):

Tunisia

Tunisia is recognized as a highly accomplished African team. In 2015, Les Aigles de Carthage (Eagles of Carthage) participated in their 18th Africa Cup of Nations, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

In 2004, the national football team of Tunisia won their inaugural and sole African Cup of Nations championship by defeating Morocco in the final match. The Eagles of Carthage were aided by goals from Jaziri and Santos, while Mokhtari scored a consolation goal for Morocco. Tunisia had previously reached the final in 1965 and 1996, but were unsuccessful in clinching the title.

As for the Tunisia National football team’s performances in the FIFA World Cup finals, they have competed in the tournament four times (1978, 1998, 2002, 2006), however they were unable to advance past the initial stages. Their home jersey is white, and they wear red shirts and shorts for away matches. Radhi Jaidi has the most caps for Tunisia with a total of 105 appearances.
