Wales will start their Euro 2024 qualifier on Saturday evening as they make their way to Croatia. Both teams will be keen to start well, and we have called upon our football expert, Herrin Kendrick, to provide us with the analysis and find value in the betting markets. Find below the two tips suggested for the game.

It was another impressive performance from the Checkered Ones in Qatar, as Luka Modric and co. finished in third place, causing yet another huge upset in a major tournament. They will now be expected to qualify pretty easily for the Euros, even if top players like Luka Modric might be close to end their international careers.
This is a tough fixture for Wales, who are starting life without Gareth Bale, who retired after Qatar. The other teams in the group are Turkey, Armenia, and Latvia, so Rob Page’s squad would need to get some results early on if they want to secure their place in yet another major tournament.
Not to mention that Zlatko Dalic’s team has already done enough to secure a play-off spot via the Nations League, so the hosts are already in a good position to go to Germany, but they will want to start with a home win. Realistically, the Dragons will battle it out with Turkey for the second qualification berth, and even a point here would be seen as a great achievement, considering that Croatia have never lost a home European qualifier in their whole history with 27 wins and 8 draws. Wales, on the other hand, are coming into this game in pretty shaky form, having gone eight games without a win, with six defeats in the process.
Croatia vs Wales Betting Prediction: Croatia To Win & Both Teams To Score

Wales can cause problems on the counter-attack even without Gareth Bale against a Croatian team that has only conceded once in their last four home games.On the other hand, it is difficult to see the frail Dragons’ defence keeping a clean sheet in Split, so backing Croatia to win with both teams scoring looks like a very interesting bet for a match where both sides have made lots of personnel changes and have not played together since December.
Croatia vs Wales Betting Prediction: Ethan Ampadu 3+ Tackles
[wptb id=388419]
We found a very interesting market with BetVictor for the second selection, and we are backing Ethan Ampadu to make 3+ tackles during the game. In just 29 games for Venezia last season, the midfielder received 11 yellow cards and two red cards, and he has already been booked five times this season. With an average of 2.4 tackles per game for Spezia this season and 2.3 for Venezia last season, the Welsh midfielder appears to be excellent value in this market, especially considering how hard he would have to work to filter the hosts’ attacks.
