Cyprus currently sit rock bottom of group H in the table with 4 points on board after 6 league games as they won lost 4 times in their last 5 World Cup qualifying games.
The hosts come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 loss away from home against Slovakia.
On the other hand, the visitors, Croatia currently sit on top of the table with 13 points on board, level with Russia with goal difference separating both side after 6 league games.
Croatia come into this fixture on the back of a convincing 3-0 win over Slovenia as Marko Livaja, Mario Pašalić and substitute Nikola Vlašić all got on the score sheet.
Taking the above into consideration, we back the odds at 1.75 for goals under 2.5 in this fixture. For the hosts, Cyprus, it is about pride to try and restrict this Croatian side who will come out all guns blazing to score as many goals as they can so that they have a good head-start over the others in the group.

塞浦路斯在最近的5场世界杯预选赛中输了4场，在6场联赛后以4分的成绩位列H组垫底。
东道主在客场0 - 2负于斯洛伐克的情况下来到了这场比赛。
另一方面，客队克罗地亚目前以13分位居积分榜榜首，与俄罗斯队平手，双方在6场联赛后都有净胜球的差距。
克罗地亚在3-0战胜斯洛文尼亚的比赛中进入了这场比赛，利沃亚、马里奥Pašalić和替补尼古拉Vlašić都进球了。
考虑到以上因素，我们支持在这场比赛中进球低于2.5的几率为1.75。对于东道主塞浦路斯来说，试图限制这支克罗地亚球队是一种骄傲，因为他们会全力以赴，尽可能多地进球，这样他们就能比小组中的其他球队有一个好的开始。
