A heavyweight clash in the opening round of the Euro 2024

The standout fixture on the opening weekend of Euro 2024 is undoubtedly Spain vs Croatia. Both teams are in Germany with the aim of lifting the trophy, but neither will have it easy in Group B.

But Spain will be tested from the get-go, Croatia are tough opponent to begin a campaign against. Spain must show they have the cutting edge required to defeat them.

Zlatko Dalic’s side also arrive in good form having won their last six in a row, including a notable 2-1 win over Portugal last time out. They’ve reached the final four of the World Cup twice and the round of 16 at Euro 2020 over the last seven years.
