Croatia vs Italy Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday evening from 20:00, the last matches in group B from Euro 2024 will be played, and one of the matches is the one between Croatia and Italy, which will be hosted by the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig. It is interesting that the last three consecutive games between Italy and Croatia ended in a draw, score 1-1, two games were played in the Euro 2016 preliminaries, and one in the groups at Euro 2012. Another very interesting statistic shows us the fact that Italy has never won against Croatia. In 2012, Italy, despite drawing with Croatia, finished second in the group and qualified further, while Croatia finished third.
Croatia:
Croatia seems to be at the end of an exceptional generation, in which the greatest performance was qualifying for the final of the 2018 World Cup, lost to France. Croatia showed that they are out of shape right from the first game, when they lost 3-0 against Spain. In the second match in the group, Croatia looked just as weak even if it faced a lower-rated opponent like Albania, the match ending in a tie, score 2-2. To qualify further, Croatia needs victory against Italy and Albania must not score more than one point in the confrontation with Spain.
Italy:
On the other hand, Italy, the champion of the last European championship final tournament, is currently in 2nd place in group B, having a 2-1 victory against Albania, a match in which they were quickly led 1-0 since the first minute of the game, but then he came back until the break and turned the score around. In the match against Spain, Italy played one of the weakest games of the last period and did not manage to endanger the opponents’ goal at any time. For Italy, one point would be enough to go to the eighths of Euro 2024.
