Spain vs Croatia Prediction 15.06.2024 EURO 2024

• Competition: EURO 2024
• Date: 15.06.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC +1 / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Olympiastadion (Berlin)

One of the matches of the first round of EURO 2024 will be played by the national teams of Spain and Croatia. This will be a replay of the Nations League final in which Spain won on penalties.

De La Fuente brought some fresh air to the Spanish national team after several top coaches who did not do well in the role of helmsman. So far, Spain has played 2 friendly matches in the preparatory phase for the EURO against two South American national teams. They lost against Colombia 1-0 and then played a great match against Brazil which ended with a 3-3 goal fest.

Croatia lost another major final in the UEFA Nations League, and a generational change is slowly taking place. It is very likely that EURO will be the last major competition for Luka Modric. Brozovic and Kovacic should be the new leaders and Croatia played two friendly matches against North African countries, beating Egypt and Tunisia 

Spain vs Croatia pick: SPAIN TO WIN

The difference in quality between these two teams exists and it is much more pronounced compared to 3 or 5 years ago when Croatia was side by side with the best European and world national teams. Rodri is perhaps the best defensive midfielder in the world at the moment, there are several great players from Real and Barcelona like Carvajal, Torres, Pedri, and then the great forward Morata. Spain has a lot to offer and it seems that they play much faster and more specific than before. The first half could be a bit slower and end in a draw, but in the second half we expect a fierce Red Fury.
