England got back on track in the Nations League on Tuesday with their 2-0 win over Czechia and Thomas Tuchel was pleased to see his side end a run of six matches without a clean sheet.
Can they do it again on Saturday against a team they beat 4-2 in the World Cup earlier this year? Croatia have scored three across their two Nations League matches so far - winning 1-0 in Czechia and losing 4-1 in Spain - so the hosts will fancy their chances of finding the net here.
England are 4/51.80 favourites, while Croatia are 3/14.00 and the Draw 11/43.75. A second away win of this international break would do very nicely for the Three Lions before they round off this run at home to the Czechs next week.
Below are three pertinent stats from Opta and related bets.
