Spain – Croatia Prediction

Group B is probably the strongest in this tournament. Only Albania seem to be the outsiders. We’re unlikely to see some easy wins in the games between the three remaining teams. Spain, Italy and Croatia are equal sides in rankings and strengths. The games between them can be tied. By the way, the last two head-to-head games between Spain and Croatia ended exactly like this in regular time. Spain beat Croatia in extra time in the last Euro and won on penalties in the UEFA Nations League final a year ago

Spain demonstrated quite disappointing results In the last big tournaments. They played 10 games in the last World Cup and Euro, with 7 of them being tied in regular time (2 wins, 1 defeat). Croatia performed almost in the same way in the same tournaments, with 6 draws in regular time in their 11 games (3 wins, 2 defeats). 

Our prediction is a Draw at .
