📊 Group L Outlook
A Group of Death by pedigree. Croatia were WC 2018 finalists and remain organised and dangerous under Dalić. England carry heavy expectations. England vs Croatia is the group decider — and historically this fixture is tight.
Betting angle: England to win group. Under 2.5 in England vs Croatia (tight historically). Croatia to qualify at value odds.
Predicted to advance: England & Croatia
