The Incas are in great shape coming into this week’s Peru vs Croatia betting tips. Peru haven’t lost since November 2016 and they are currently in the midst of a ten game unbeaten sequence. Manager Ricardo Gareca is getting some great performances out of his players and he has turned the Peruvians into one of South America’s most dangerous teams over the past couple of years.

Croatia called up all of their big hitters for their mini tour of the USA. Real Madrid’s Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic are both included in the squad, as are Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic and Inter’s Ivan Perisic. The Vatreni have only lost one in their las six matches and this week in Miami they will be looking to extend an unbeaten run to five games. The Croatians take on Mexico a few days after their upcoming fixtures against the Incas.

Peru vs Croatia Prediction and Betting Advice

While the Miami heat is likely to play a part in today’s Peru vs Croatia bets, the superior class in the Croatian ranks should help to negate the high temperatures. The Peruvians are not to be underestimated, though having drawn three of their last four games, things have gone a little flat for them. Two of those draws came against Argentina and Colombia however, two notoriously tough sides to play.

The Croatians are unbeaten in four, with wins over Ukraine and Greece bookended by draws against Finland and Greece. The last time the Vatreni played South American opposition was in May 2017, when they beat a stubborn Mexican outfit 2-1. Manager Zlatko Dalić means business this week and the strength of the squad he has named is very telling. 

The Croats have some of the finest players in European football and their quality should shine against a workmanlike Peruvian team. The International Friendly match odds for a Croatia win at Betway Sports are well worth your consideration. Their prices emerged top of the pile for value when compared to their rival bookmakers.

Hoffenheim striker Andrej Kramaric’s red-hot form made him an easy inclusion in today’s free Peru vs Croatia predictions. The 26 year old former Leicester City forward is in an incredibly rich vein of form for his Bundesliga club. Kramaric has scored seven times in his last seven appearances for Hoffenheim.

That run of goals has amounted to seven of his nine league goals in total in 2017/18. Additionally, Kramaic has been in devastating form each time he has pulled on his country’s shirt of late. The attacker has scored three times in his last three appearance for his country, netting once against Greece and twice against Ukraine.

His club performances in particular will mean that Kramaric’s self-believe will be sky high ahead of this week’s match-up. Kramaric has eight goals in twenty six appearances while playing for his country and he’ll fancy his chances of registering another goal against a Peruvian defence that has kept just four clean sheets in fifteen attempts. The most lucrative odds for the second entry in our international football betting guide can be found at William Hill. Their prices are second to none in terms of value.
