All is still to play for in this game, with both Italy and Croatia having a chance of going through to the knockouts.

Croatia vs Italy: Match Preview

Croatia and Italy are two nations that always have high expectations upon entering a tournament, both internally as well as from fans back home and in the ground. Being eliminated in the group stages would undoubtedly be considered a massive failure for both sides. Italy are the more likely of the two to advance, with Croatia only earning a point out of a possible six. A win is a must for them to progress.

Croatia’s performances have not been the best, to say the least. However, it must be said that despite the 3-0 scoreline against Spain, they were competitive in that game. Additionally, they displayed a togetherness against Albania, but conceded far too many chances and switched off at the end for the equaliser. As a result, Croatia are now in a tough spot with just a point to their name, coming as a shock to many viewers.

After a strong comeback against Albania in their opener, Italy took a step back against Spain. This was their first real test in the tournament and it ultimately proved to be too much for them. It remains to be seen whether Italy will grow as a side in the next game or whether they’ll fall short. One of their main issues is their lack of a world class striker, with Gianluca Scamacca still not getting on the scoresheet.
