Expected lineups: Croatia: Pletikosa; Srna, Lovren, Corluka, Strinic; Rakitic, Modric, Kovacic; Eduardo, Mandzukic, Olic.

Belgium: Courtois; Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Lombaerts; Witsel, Fellaini, Defour; De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hazard.

Get the feeling this will be a cagey affair, will be watching this game with interest, but I expect Croatia to throw everything at Belgium to have 1 more shot at getting top spot. Draw will be good result for Belgium as they qualify for World Cup. 3.15 for a team that doesn't need to win to qualify represents a great bet to me.

losing Vincent Kompany in defence and Benetke are big losses for me for Belgium. But gotta give it to Belgium, they are going through a bit of a 'golden era' with the calibre of players playing for top clubs

Im a bit wary of backing teams that 'dont need to win', in this case Belgium. Ive seen it time and time in Champions League, 2 legged ties, where the first leg, the team has won by a big margin. Id price Belgium above 3/1 playing away from home

as i said in post playing for a draw is a vey dangerous strategy and could easily backfire given the quality of the team and croatias poor home form i beleive the away win is definastley on -so do the bookies hence the price

Even if Belgium lose today they only need a point at home to Wales to top the group as long as the Croats don't thump the Scots.

But i think Croatia know they only have a 5% so likelihood of getting top spot..........i think possibly watch first 15-20 minutes and get a feel for the game

belguim is a funny team to call an away side as their players are scattered far and wide so home ties are more or less away ties too

if you take that logic you could equally argue that croatia know top spot is cooked for them so the play offs look nailed on with their 17pt tally so far,

having the play offs in mind could distract them tonight.

not saying it will but its a similiar arguement to the belgians playing for a draw i think both teams will go for the win

My estimate of 5% is slightly overs, Percentage Belgium top spot 1.02 (98.03% ) v Croatia 34 (2.94%)

Draw for me, agree that Kompany and Benteke are big losses for Belgium. Still a good side but Croatia probably aren't good enough to win it and Belgium don't NEED to but would probably want to. 1-1.

I'd like to say it was cos Scotland were great but Croatia were terrible against us. Barely created a clear cut chance. Belgium could of hit us for 7 or 8 in Belgium and beat us at a canter at Hampden.

If you knew Belgium were going out with an attitude to win 3.15 would look big but as they don't need to its a no bet for me. But I wouldn't be laying Belgium in a million years.
