To build a prediction for the Croatia - Portugal match, scheduled for 18 November 2024, several key factors could influence the outcome. Croatia have played 46 matches, in which they won 21 of them, drew 13 times and lost 12 matches. Portugal, having played 46 matches, won 32 times, drew 7 matches and lost 7 defeats. In the league, Croatia average 1.5 goals scored per game and 1 conceded. Portugal average 2.3 scored and 0.6 conceded. These sides last met on 4 September 2024 at Portugal's ground, where the home side came out on top.

Despite the Croatians' not bad performance, Portugal are still playing very well, and I think that even away from home the Portuguese will be able to defeat Croatia. I expect a narrow victory for Portugal; the team looks more motivated.
