August 19 - On September 9 England will seek to protect their perfect record in 2010 World Cup qualifiers when they host Croatia in London. The game will have a lot of meeting for punters who will probably get stuck into the home team for their 8th straight win, but the game means even more to Croatia who are locked in a fight with Ukraine for the second spot in the Group.
Both Croatia and Ukraine currently have 11 points from 6 games, sporting identical records of played 6, won 3, drawn 2, and lost 1. They both have to be concerned with Belarus who have 9 points but have a game in hand. If Belarus win that game they could leapfrog over both countries.
England and Croatia have met 6 times in the past with England holding a narrow 3-2 advantage (they have drawn once).
England are obviously looking strong now that they have one of the world's best head coaches leading the way. Fabio Capello may not speak English but he can certainly speak Football, and his strategic expertise is making the difference for this team. We predict another home win for England and the betting value could be in predicting the final score. We go with a 2-1 home win here, and predict that Croatia might struggle to qualify for South Africa in 2010, which would be a bit of a shock result.
