Spain vs Croatia Predictions
Croatia had an impressive appearance in Lisbon last week, beating Portugal 2-1. Spain had a stellar run in the qualifiers and won their last two friendlies, so I expect both sides to find the net.

Head to Head
In 10 matches there has only been one draw along with six Spain victories. Croatia have been victorious on three occasions.
Their last encounter was in the final of the UEFA Nations League in 2023, a match Spain won on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Spain Form
Spain head into Euro 2024 with high confidence after earning two convincing victories in friendly matches earlier this month.
The Red Fury had zero troubles against minnows Andorra 5-0, while even better performance was seen three days after against Northern Ireland 5-1. Mikel Oyarzabal scoring four goals in those encounters, Pedri bagging two.
Luis de la Fuente’s side was less successful during their international friendlies in March where they lost to Colombia 1-0 and drawn against Brazil 3-3.
Spain were one of the most successful teams in the EURO 2024 qualifiers, topping their group with 21 points (seven wins, one loss) ahead of Scotland, Norway, Georgia and Cyprus, scoring 25 and allowing just five goals.
