Ladbrokes share predictions for England vs Croatia in the UEFA Nations League
England are tipped to win 3-0 and secure their place in the Nations League quarter-finals
Harry Kane is backed to score with Anthony Gordon having 2+ shots on target

England only need a point from their final two UEFA Nations League group games to secure progression to the quarter-finals as they take on Croatia at Wembley.
The Three Lions dismantled Croatia away from home in October as they sit second in Group C, three points behind Spain who they face on Sunday. La Roja are the only team who have managed to beat England in the Nations League so far, having followed up that 3-2 defeat at Wembley with 2-0 and 3-0 wins over Czechia alongside the thrashing in Rijeka, and Thomas Tuchel's men are firm favourites to secure a fourth straight victory against Croatia at home.

Harry Kane lines up for England for the first time since winning the Ballon d'Or, with the skipper and record scorer now just nine goals off reaching 100 goals for the Three Lions. The 33-year-old has scored at least once in all four of England's Nations League games so far, including twice against Croatia last month, and we're backing the striker to cap off his memorable achievement with another goal at Wembley.
Other than Kane and perhaps Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon has become one of the first names on the teamsheet for Thomas Tuchel, with the Barcelona forward registering four goals and five assists in his last seven appearances, including a goal in each of his three appearances in the Nations League. Gordon is a constant threat from the left-hand side and with 2.3 shots on target per matchin the competition so far, another two here feels like a solid outcome to expect.
England scored seven goals against this team last month and while we don't expect them to get close to matching those efforts on Thursday, we do believe they'll breach the 2.5 goals threshold. Alongside the heavy defeat to England, they have also conceded four to Spain away from home, shipping 14 overall so far. With Croatia on the decline from the force they once were in international football, there is an opportunity for England to rack up a comprehensive score.
The final pick of our Bet Builder is for England to win and secure at least second in Group C, which will be enough to secure progression to the quarter-finals next March. England are favourites at 1/4 in the match-betting odds and it would be a surprise to see anything other than three points for the hosts, even if Croatia did run Spain close in a 2-1 defeat last time out.
