Czech Republic vs Croatia Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 09/10/2025

All eyes will be on Fortuna Arena when Czech Republic and Croatia lock horns in a highly-anticipated 2026 World Cup qualifier. Czech Republic did well to beat Montenegro 2-0 on the road in their last qualifying match, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to book their spot at the next year’s showpiece tournament in USA, Mexico, and Canada. New Besiktas signing Vaclav Cerny is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Montenegro, while both David Doudera and Tomas Holes have been ruled out with injuries. Zlatko Delic’s men, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Croatia aim to keep their 100% record intact in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, but beating Czech Republic on the road is easier said than done. When the two teams met in Osijek early in the process, Croatia rolled over Czech Republic 5-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards. Speaking of the away team, Real Sociedad midfielder Luka Sucic is back to contention, with star players Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic, Ante Budimir, and Josko Gvardiol making the cut as well.
