Croatia and Italy will decide who wins the second place in Group B of the 2024 EURO. Spain already secured its spot, having defeated Italy last Thursday night.
Before Betting on Croatia vs. Italy
The Croats have flipped the score against Albania, getting back from 0-1 to 2-1, but in the very last seconds of the game, Zlatko Dalic’s unit allowed a goal that could cost them the place in the tournament’s knockout stage. They have one point now, and a win is an absolute must for this crew.
It seems that the time ran over this unit, with plenty of players not reaching up to the expectations, mainly due to years. On the other side, the defense shows too many flaws, even though it has respectable names. Also, all the luck Croatia had in the previous years is simply gone.
Italy was so inferior to Spain that for one moment, we thought they might concede three or more goals. However, Donnarruma saved the Azzurri from a much worse defeat with his incredible saves on several occasions.
The Italians lack the speed to pressure Spain and take over the ball, and the midfielders aren’t that good defensively, which is why the Red Fury had so many chances in the first place.
Croatia vs. Italy Head to Head
The last two meetings were in the 2016 EURO qualifiers when both games ended with a tie, 1-1. They also played in the 2012 EURO group stage, and the result was the same.

The Croats have been pale in both of their games here in Germany, while Italy posted one more or less embarrassing display, which was against Spain. Both teams will be under heavy pressure here, and that’s why we take under 2.5 goals.
