Euro 2024 Qualifying | Croatia VS Armenia; Wednesday, 22 November at 03:45 GMT +8

Croatia has made progress towards qualifying for EURO, but still has a long way to go. The only way for Croatia to secure their spot is to win the final round against Armenia, which will be held in Germany next year. Despite losing two of their previous three matches, Croatia secured all three points in the last round against Latvia. A win against Armenia on Tuesday will help secure another major tournament appearance.

Armenia, despite recent improvements, lacks the quality to qualify for a major tournament. If they lose in Zagreb, they will finish with eight points. Oleksandr Petrakov’s team has not won in the last five matches, with a 1-1 draw against Wales. They aim to surprise Croatia in their upcoming match. The team’s recent performance against Wales was a positive example of their progress.

Croatia faces injuries, with Ivan Perisic, Josip Juranovic, and Nikola Vlasic out of the game against Armenia. Marko Pjaca, who was substituted in the Latvia game, also has an injury. Croatia’s only pure striker is Ante Budimir, and head coach Zlatko Dalic has called up Dion Bello as a replacement.

Armenia has made significant strides in their squad, with young players like Eduard Spertsyan, Vahan Bichakhchyan, and Grant-Leon Ranos showing potential for the national team in the next decade. Despite not being enough for Croatia, Armenia’s recent improvements suggest a promising future for the national team.
