On June 28, the match of the 1/8 final of the 2020 European Football Championship between the national teams of Croatia and Spain will take place. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
Croatia
The Croatian squad started barely, but then got hot. Thanks to the ageless Luka Modric for this. However, in the 1/8 finals, the Croats got the Spanish national team, which played well in the final match against Slovakia. It is extremely dangerous to play open football with the "red fury", so the Croats ' tactics in the upcoming match will most likely be as closed and pragmatic as possible.
Spain
All that Spain did not score in the matches against the Swedes and Poles, it scored in the game against Slovakia. I could have done more, but Alvaro Morata failed to realize an eleven-meter shot. Interestingly, the Spaniards can't score five penalties in a row already. In the game against Croatia, the realization of moments will be of paramount importance. If Spain continues to squander them, Croatia may well be punished for such waste.
Statistics and figures:
- Croatia won for the first time in five matches;
- The unbeaten streak of the Spanish national team is eleven games;
- In 2018, the national teams met within the framework of the UEFA Nations League. First, Spain won 6-0, and then Croatia won 3-2.
Forecast:
Despite the fact that the last matches between these teams ended with a big score, the first game of the playoffs is likely to be the most closed football. Croatia will not reveal one hundred percent and will bet on counterattacks. Spain is also unlikely to go on the attack headlong. So here we advise you to put less than 2.5 goals on the total.
