The big match on the second day of action at the EUROs will see two of the most talented nations in the competition collide. Spain will be chasing a record-setting success at the tournament this year, while Croatia could have their final opportunity to achieve a major honor during their golden generation.

Before Betting On Spain vs Croatia

The action in Group B gets underway in Berlin on Saturday, as the fascinating race for a qualifying position gets underway when Spain and Croatia lock horns. Both nations have achieved major success on the global stage throughout recent history, but this group of death will see at least one heavyweight nation exit the competition at the first hurdle.

Spain are three-time winners of the EUROs, and they have quietly gone under the radar ahead of the 2024 edition in Germany. The Spanish reached the semi-final stage at the previous edition, but were beaten on penalties by Italy in the final four. The nation was excellent throughout qualification after winning seven of their eight matches, and scoring 25 goals in the process.

Croatia have regularly upset the odds at the World Cup throughout recent history, finishing third in the recent edition in 2022. However, they are yet to show that level of form at the EUROs after being eliminated in the round of 16 stage in each of the previous two editions.

They were far from perfect throughout qualification after winning just five of their eight matches, and scoring just 13 goals. However, their form this year has picked up considerably, and they built momentum in their final warm-up match after recording a 2-1 success in Portugal. As is often the case, Croatia will be hard to dismiss.
