📏 Form Guide

Croatia will play in this game following on from a 2-2 Euro 2024 draw versus Albania.
In that match, Croatia had 67% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Croatia was Andrej Kramarić (74'). Albania had 15 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Qazim Laçi (11') and Klaus Gjasula (76' Own goal, 95') scored for Albania.
At least three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Croatia have taken part. Opposition teams scored 8 of them in this period while Croatia managed to get a total of 11. Despite that, we will just have to wait and see if the trend might persist in this next game.
Italy
WWDWWL
After suffering a loss in their previous game against Spain in Euro 2024 action, Italy will be aiming to make amends here.
In that match, Italy managed 43% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target. The scorer for Italy was Riccardo Calafiori (55' Own goal). At the other end, Spain got 20 attempts on goal with 9 on target.
A sequence of effective showings from the Italy defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 2 from their past 6 clashes combined. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 7.
📰 Team News: Croatia
In our view, Vatreni may well line up in a 4-3-3 system for this one, beginning the first half with Dominik Livakovic, Josip Juranovic, Josip Sutalo, Josko Gvardiol, Ivan Perisic, Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic, Lovro Majer, Bruno Petkovic and Andrej Kramaric.
🗞️ Team News: Italy
We believe Azzurri seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 system with a starting lineup of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Alessandro Bastoni, Riccardo Calafiori, Matteo Darmian, Jorginho, Andrea Cambiaso, Bryan Cristante, Nicolo Barella, Federico Chiesa and Mateo Retegui.
💭 Prediction
We’re of the view that Croatia will need things to go their way to score against this Italy team who will likely be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We’re therefore tipping a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 win for Italy at the end of the 90.
Expecting it to be tight.
