Team news

Croatia news

Zlatko Dalic has adopted a three-man backline in 2022, although Croatia historically used a 4-2-3-1.
Dalic has the trio of Marcelo Brozovic, Luka Modric, and Mateo Kovacic available for selection, and those three might start here.

Austria news

Ralf Rangnick is in charge of his first Austria game since being appointed in April, so predicting his starting lineup is tricky.
Rangnick may opt for a 4-3-3 formation here, with Marko Arnautovic playing on the right side to allow Sasa Kalajdzic to take the lead.

Croatia vs Austria predictions

Croatia has won six of nine matches since their exciting Euro 2016 loss to Spain last summer. They'll try to keep their winning streak going with a strong start to their Nations League group.

Austria makes a test trip to Osijek to kick off life under Ralf Rangnick. Austria has lost five of their last six games with Croatia, and if Rangnick's Manchester United side is any indication, that trend will continue. On Friday, Croatia should make quick work of Austria.

Prediction: Croatia 3-1 Austria
