Croatia had fun at their own home (Grindleford Reserve A) last time out, beating Floreat Athena 3-0. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Armadale at their stadium, the result 3-2.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Croatia manager T. Nicolaidis as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cockburn City.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Gwelup Croatia SC alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (11 from 3 played). It's not easy to score on Croatia as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
