It would not be surprising if Croatia were eliminated from the group stage.

In match 3 of Group B EURO 2024, Albania will meet Spain at 2:00 a.m. on June 25.

As for the Spanish team, they have already secured a ticket to the next round, so I think coach De la Fuente will not use the strongest squad for the last round of the group stage, instead, the key players will be kept fit for the next round. However, the players who are on the field will still ensure good and stable control of the match.

In terms of quality, the reserve team may not be as good as the main team, but in terms of determination, it cannot be said to be less. In my opinion, the Spanish team will have a reasonable way of playing and know how to allocate their strength for this match.

After two matches, it can be seen that Spain are playing football at a very high standard. This team has a good physical foundation, responding to high intensity matches. Their ball control philosophy is still being promoted well but in a modern form, faster and more rapid than before.

Spain still has a lot of passes, but the long passes are more frequent and are played at a high speed. It is a version with many positive points. Watching them play, we feel more interested and not lulled to sleep like in the previous period.

On the other side, Albania can create a surprise but in terms of level, it is clear that they cannot control the match well and it is not easy to make an impression against Spain. Albania needs to try hard in the next match because if they win, this team will have a chance to continue.

I predict this match will have few or no goals, maybe 0-0 for Spain and Albania.

In addition, another match taking place at the same time is the confrontation between Italy and Croatia. Against Croatia, the match can be completely under the control of Italy.

Coach Luciano Spalletti's team only needs a draw to advance, so they will likely play confidently.

The current squad of the blue team includes many faces who do not favor the classic defensive style of play, but instead play to control the game in a safe way. I believe they will aim for this style of play and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

As for Croatia, they are forced to attack because they currently have only 1 point. The pressure on Luka Modric and his teammates is huge. In my prediction, Croatia will not be able to get what they want, which is a win against the Italians or at least a draw.

Looking at the lineup in previous matches, it can be seen that the Southeast European team is relying on the veterans. However, their form, rhythm and luck are not there.

In fact, Croatian football has been successful in the World Cup, reaching the final once and the semi-finals three times, but has never passed the quarter-finals in the EURO. It can be understood that Croatia's problem is that they have no luck with the title, but in terms of level, we do not need to doubt this team.

Croatia is an experienced team but not a candidate for the EURO 2024 championship. If coach Zlatko Dalic and his team say goodbye to the tournament early, it will be a pity, not a surprise, because this group is quite difficult. In general, the football teams in Europe are very close. If they are not well prepared and do not have good form, an early exit will be obvious.

I predict Italy will draw 1-1 with Croatia.
