Croatia Team News
Croatia also began their new Nations League campaign with a victory, albeit a 2-1 win over Czechia.
As usual, the Vatreni were served extremely well by their old general, Luka Modric, in midfield. Apart from scoring a goal from his only shot, the AC Milan player completed 91% of his passes. The 41-year-old was also perfect on his dribbles and long-ball attempts, posting 100% accuracy in both.
Ivan Perisic, operating at left-back, created a team-high four chances for the Vatreni and provided an assist. The PSV Eindhoven man also won 67% of his aerial duels.
As for injuries, Martin Baturina, Martin Erlic, and Josip Juranovic have all been ruled out.
Croatia predicted lineup vs Spain (4-2-3-1): Livakovic; Perisic, Gvardiol, Vuskovic, Stanisic; Kovacic, Modric; Ivanovic, P. Sucic, L. Sucic; Budimir.
Spain vs Croatia Prediction
- Pick: Spain to win
- Odds: -435 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Spain 3-1 Croatia
Spain are well positioned to win. They are the reigning world champions and are unbeaten in their last nine matches. The gap between the teams in the FIFA rankings also tips the balance in La Roja’s favor.
The hosts are ranked at the top of the standings while Croatia are 13th. Spain have also avoided defeat in five of their last seven meetings with the Vatreni and have come out on top in their last two home encounters with them.
Spain vs Croatia Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Mikel Oyarzabal to score
- Odds: -115 (20Bet)
Mikel Oyarzabal got on the scoresheet in Spain’s victory over England. While he has already bagged two assists for Real Sociedad this season, Oyarzabal’s standout performances came at the World Cup, where he scored five goals and recorded an assist.
Thanks to his impeccable positioning and shooting skills, Oyarzabal has already scored 31 goals for La Roja in his career and could add to that tally.
