Croatia vs. Spain Prediction EURO 2016

  • Croatia and Spain will be face to face this Tuesday in one of the most interesting and balanced matches of Group D at Euro 2016. The competition will start at 20:00 and it is announced to be an explosive one.
  • Spain is ranked on the 1st place in Group D with 6 points after their last two victories, one with Czech Republic and one with Turkey.
  • Croatia is ranked on the 2nd place in Group D with 4 points, the team comes after a victory with Turkey and a draw with Czech Republic, they have one of the strongest attack in this group after Spain and we assume that they will be a very strong opponent for Spain.
  • In the first match of Euro 2016 Croatia defeat 1-0 Turkey. The only goal of the match was scored by Luka Modrić in the 41 minutes after a great first resume at 25 meters with no chance for the keeper. Last round they draw with Czech Republic 2-2 in an explosive match and one of the most entertaining matches at Euro 2016. Croatia have big chances at the victory, they lead Czech republic 2-0.
  • Croatia manager Ante Cacic insists that Luka Modric’s withdrawal against Czech Republic was just a precaution. “Luka Modric is just tired and had a stretched muscle problem,” Cacic said post-match. “Luka is the most important player for us.”
  • One of the advantage of Croatia is the fact that Mateo Kovacic, Modric and Rakitic are playing at a club football in Spain and will be very familiar with their opposition.
  • For sure today Croatia will put pressure on their opponent from the outset and will play hard for the victory so we expect a very tough competition tonight.
  • Croatia is a litte bit in worried after they lost Luka Modric and without him in the match against Spain hey are likely to have some struggles on their hands.
  • Spain started with the right to Euro 2016 champions with a limit victory, score 1-0, with the Czech Republic. Gerard Pique brought “salvation” and scored in the 87th minute.
  • Spain is the clear favourite at the bookmakers, in the opening match of Euro 2016 Spain played against Czech Republic, they won 1-0, last round they defeat Turkey and are ready for another great victory tonight.
  • “Furia Roja” won the continental title in the last two editions and dreams of becoming the first national which won third times in a row the European title.
  • However, Croatia will not be an easy opponent and could create a lot of problems to Spain, moreover Spain need to improve their game if they want to win the trophy as this year at Euro there are a lot of surprises and Spain can not afford to make any wrong step.
  • Spain came into this tournament with the best defensive and with all the valuable players that the team have for sure will reach the finals.
  • Spain is unbeaten in their last 14 matches at the Euros and they have now gone 690 minutes of action without having conceded a goal. The last time they did was in the opening match of Euro 2012 against Italy.
    We expect Spain to be more and more dominant in this game the longer it wears on.
  • Spain will dominate with the ball and are value to come away with a clean sheet in a game which both need only to draw. A draw/Spain half time/full time punt has to have some appeal.
  • The two sides have met four times so far and Spain won four of their last four matches. The last head to head match between the two teams was in 2012 at Euro was a 1-0 victory for Spain.

LIVE Comments from our visitor for Croatia vs Spain

Spain have 6 points in group D gathered in two games, they have scored 4 goals and conceding nothing in their first two game of the competition. Del Bosque led side were part of the few teams who booked their place in the round of 16 after first two rounds of the tournament.
La Rojas’ performance in the tournament so far as brought nothing but joy, especially with their goal scoring show in the encounter with Turkey. Moreover, if complacency doesn’t set in for Spain, I see the Spanish getting the maximum point, but will give Croatia a slim chance of a possible win against the Spaniards.

Croatia was fighting for supremacy in Group D Spain, but certainly has some of the best talents lot footballers at Euro 2016. Start betting favorite in this dispute, especially as she traverses an extremely good form. Do not lose seven games, six of them victories. He had a pretty tough group in preliminaries, fighting until the last stage of qualifying with Norway. He had an average of two per game successful and certainly offensive department is the strength. Ante Cacic has no problems and is expected to effectively align usual 4-2-3-1 extremely offensive.

Spain is the champion in exercise, but it will be a challenge to defend their trophy. Going through a change of generations and certainly does not have the force four years ago. Vicente del Bosque is based on a lot detul atypical and no matter the tournament, Fernando Torres, Diego Costa, Juan Mata or Isco and last minute was injured and Carvajal. Fans Iberians lived a shock last training match, their team was defeated at home by modest Georgia (0-1). But I’m sure it was an accident and Spain will show its strength, as it did in the preliminaries. He won the qualifying group with nine wins from 10 games, with the best attack and the best defense. Coach is cofrunta lot with little trouble. Alvaro Morata is not yet totally rebuilt and troubled household’s De Gea might bring veteran Casillas in goal.
