Croatia have looked a shadow of themselves after a fairytale runners-up finish in WC 2018. Heading into the competition, they were favourites to finish in the top 2 of Group D, but they struggled a lot for this. Wins were hard to come by for them against England and the Czech Republic. This resulted in a do-or-die situation in their final encounter against Scotland, and their talisman, Luka Modric, came to the rescue again.
Croatia has been dependent on veterans Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic to take them over the finish line. This game looks no different. Croatia will be hoping for big names in the team to step up once again.
La Roja are aiming for a record 4th Euro Championship success, but they started off Euro 2020 on a slower side with two draws in the first two games. Scoring goals was Spain’s biggest issue coming into the 3rd and final group stage match, but they gave a fitting reply to everyone who doubted their potential and put five past Slovakia.
Luis Enrique’s side has struggled for a leader in their attack, with Juventus’ striker Alvaro Morata being the most experienced forward in the squad. They will certainly depend on the explosiveness of talented Pedri, Ferran Torres and Sarabia to find more goals for the side.
Spain head into this one as the favourites to win despite not looking all that convincing during the group stage. They lacked the firepower in the previous two games but found their mojo back against Slovakia. Spain have picked up four wins from their last seven encounters with Croatia, and the bookmakers are backing them once again to register a win and progress through to the quarter-finals.
Coming to the odds for Croatia vs Spain Euro 2020, 888sport has favoured a Spanish win at the odds of 8/13, while a Croatian win seems highly unlikely with the odds of 26/5.

Spain has been topsy-turvy in recent campaigns, but Croatia will undoubtedly need to produce one of their best games if they have to gin over La Roja, which looks like a huge mountain to climb for the Croats!
Considering Spain have kept a tight defence conceding only one goal in the tournament so far, a 1-0 win for Spain with the odds of 19/4 by 888sport is our best tip for Croatia vs Spain Euro 2020. Even though Croatia scored 3 in their previous game, it was against a Scotland side that threw caution to the wind.
