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. Many consider this to be the toughest group in the competition with defending champions Italy also looking to advance. Spain certainly has the quality to make an impact on this tournament.
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. They simply cannot be written off as Luka Modric prepares for what is surely his final dance. This will be a mouthwatering clash for the fans for sure.
