England vs Croatia: In-form Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham can combine for a 6/1 winner at Wembley

England will be looking to continue their impressive recent record against Croatia when the sides meet at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening in the UEFA Nations League A.

Thomas Tuchel's men demolished their opponents 7-0 in Rijeka last month before following that result with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Czechia.

The Vatreni, under the management of Slaven Bilic, will be desperate to respond after also suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to world champions Spain.

England have scored 39 goals in 16 matches during 2026, including 14 in their last four Nations League fixtures.

With Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane both in excellent form, backing the pair to combine for another goal looks an appealing option.

Back Bellingham and Kane to combine again

England have won each of their last four meetings with Croatia, somewhat making amends for the 2018 World Cup semi-final heartache in Moscow.

The 7-0 victory in September was particularly impressive, with Bellingham and Kane combining for the opening goal. There is plenty of encouragement for them to produce something similar at Wembley.

Bellingham has enjoyed another productive spell for Real Madrid, registering nine goal involvements from 16 appearances this season and averaging 2.5 key passes per 90 minutes.

The midfielder has also been finding the net regularly, scoring twice in his last three Real Madrid appearances. He was also a major goalscoring threat at the 2026 World Cup, where he scored seven times, while the Stourbridge native also got on the scoresheet against Croatia in Rijeka following an excellent Anthony Gordon assist.

Kane is equally capable of providing the ammunition. The Bayern Munich striker has scored ten goals and registered ten assists in just 15 appearances this season, underlining his importance as both a finisher and creator.

His creative numbers are particularly impressive, having provided an assist every 102 minutes in the Bundesliga. Kane has already surpassed his seven assists from last season and is showing similarities to his outstanding 14-assist Premier League campaign with Tottenham in 2020/21.

With Kane dropping into deeper positions and Bellingham making dangerous forward runs, the combination looks particularly promising.

They have already demonstrated their understanding against Croatia, and another opportunity to link up at Wembley could be on the cards.
