The Best Bet: How to more than quadruple your money in Croatia vs Nigeria

Croatia have qualified for four of the last five World Cup finals but have only progressed from the group stage on one occasion. With all of the immense talent they have developed, it’s fair to say they have underachieved on the biggest stage in football.

With the likes of Ivan Perisic, Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Mario Manzukic in their ranks, to name just a few, it would be a huge disappointment if Croatia didn’t at least reach the round of 16 in Russia this summer.

It will be difficult, as Zlatko Dalic’s side have been handed a competitive group. They start their campaign against Nigeria and then face Argentina before concluding Group D against Iceland, who finished above them in qualifying.

Many thought Nigeria would pose a few problems this summer, but their two World Cup warm-up matches showed anything but that. They looked undercooked and underprepared, although have been more consistent at previous editions of the World Cup than Croatia.

Croatia are priced as clear 4/5 favourites to beat Nigeria on Saturday evening, but we have unearthed a tantalising bet that could more than quadruple your stake.

Incredibly, there has been a red card shown in six of Croatia’s last 11 matches at the World Cup, raking up eight dismissals during that period. With that in mind, BetVictor are offering odds of 4.5 for their to be a sending off from either side in Saturday’s match!
