Recent Form
Croatia’s Form: WLDDL
Croatia are looking like a shadow of their former self, this is mostly because of the aging squad. Their group stage journey started of pretty badly and it looked like they would not qualify but they secured their qualification on the last match day by defeating Scotland.
Spain’s Form: WDDDW
Spain performed decently in their first two matches but in their last Group stage match against Slovakia they went all out and scored 5 goals past them. But a point of concern for them is that they have missed the last 5 penalties awarded to them. If the game goes to penalties then it can create problems for Spain.
