Spain and Croatia will start their European campaign on Saturday, June 15 in a mouth-watering Group B clash where the two nations will take on each other in Olympiastadion, Berlin. Three-time Euro champions Spain will look to start the tournament on a winning note, while Luka Modrić-led Croatia will bank on their recent form to upset the Spanish team. 

The Croatian team will hope to exact revenge on Spain for the loss incurred on them last year during the UEFA Nations League final, where they lost in the penalty shootout. Their performance in the last two editions of the Euros were underwhelming, where they exited the tournament in the Round of 16 both times. Hence, the 2018 World Cup runner-up will be hoping to improve their record in the European competition this year, which might very well be the last tournament for veteran midfielder Luka Modrić. 

Considered to be the ‘Group of Death’ this year, Spain and Croatia are joined by defending champions Italy and Albania in Group B, which makes this match even more consequential. Both the teams have been riding on good form since the last few months, so football lovers could expect a tough match tonight. 

While Zlatko Dalić’s team can boast of big experienced names like Luka Modrić, Marcelo Brozović, Mateo Kovačić, and Ivan Perišić, Spain has arrived at this competition with a relatively younger squad. The mix of younger talents and experienced players like Nacho, Carvajal and Rodri, could result in a potent mix required for any team to succeed in an international tournament. 

In an overall head-to-head stat, they have come across each other on 10 occasions, where Spain came out victorious six times and Croatia won three times. Only one match resulted in a draw between them.
