SPAIN AND CROATIA SET TO RENEW RIVALRY IN EURO 2024


Spain vs. Croatia: A Rivalry Renewed:

Spain and Croatia are gearing up to face off in the Group B campaign of Euro 2024 in Berlin. These two teams have a history of close matches, with each team securing a one-goal win in their last three encounters. In their most recent meeting, Spain emerged victorious in extra time after a 90-minute draw.

Team News:

If Aymeric Laporte is unable to play, Nacho may step in to partner Robin Le Normand in Spain's central defense. Pedri is expected to take on the No.10 role behind Alvaro Morata, with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams likely to play on the flanks. Croatia's midfielder Nikola Vlasic has returned to training after a period of rest.

Match Preview:

Croatia's coach Zlatko Dalic is likely to stick with a 4-3-3 formation, with Josko Gvardiol possibly playing at left-back. The team will rely on the midfield trio of Modric, Brozovic, and Kovacic to lead the charge. In their last two meetings, Croatia and Spain have ended in draws at 90 minutes.

Spain has been in fine form, scoring 13 goals in their last three matches. Croatia, on the other hand, is unbeaten in six games, conceding just three goals. Both teams have had mixed results in their European Championship opening games in the past.

Match Prediction:

The clash between Spain and Croatia promises to be an exciting one, with both teams in good form. Spain's young talents will look to outshine Croatia's experienced midfield trio. Keep an eye on Barcelona's Pedri, who has been in impressive form and is expected to play a key role in the match.

Pedri's creativity and goal-scoring ability could be the difference-maker in this closely contested match. With the support of his teammates Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, Pedri will be a player to watch as Spain takes on Croatia in this Euro 2024 showdown.
