Should these XIs hold, Croatia's 3-4-1-2 places <strong>Luka Modri&#263;<\/strong> and Mateo Kova&#269;i&#263; at the heart of midfield, offering technical control against Slovenia's industrious 3-5-2.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Slovenia's shape invites a battle of width, with wing-backs expected to press high against Croatia's back three. <strong>Jan Oblak<\/strong> anchors the Slovenian rearguard, and how Croatia's front two exploit the spaces in behind will likely define the tempo of this friendly fixture.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Verdict<\/h2><p>Croatia's home win at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.williamhill.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_croatia_slovenia_19654632\" data-b=\"williamhill.com\" data-t=\"home\">1.36<\/a> stands out as the strongest selection here. The Vatreni boast seven victories from twelve prior meetings with Slovenia, including a comprehensive 3-0 triumph in their last home encounter.
