Match Preview
Both teams enter this match with crucial considerations for their tournament progression. Croatia, under coach Zlatko Dalić, have had a challenging group stage, managing just one point so far. After a defeat to group winners Spain and a draw against Albania, Croatia’s defense, which was once solid, has been breached five times. They will need a strong defensive performance to secure a positive result against Italy.
Italy, managed by Luciano Spalletti, also faced setbacks, conceding early against Albania before bouncing back with a win. However, they struggled against Spain and need to secure points to ensure their progression beyond the group stage. As the defending champions, Italy’s expectations are high, and they aim to secure at least a knockout place.
