Croatia Euro 2024 Fixtures: Dates, Venues and Match Analysis
Croatia have impressed in recent competitions but things aren’t going well for them at Euro 2024, with a draw and a defeat leaving their qualification chances hanging in the balance. But what are their Euro 2024 fixtures and potential route to the final?
Group B is a tough one, with three of the four teams in the top 10 of FIFA’s world rankings. Croatia are the lowest-ranked of those three teams, sitting 10th, but it’s close. Italy are defending European champions and sit ninth in the world. Spain are eighth, and will be hoping to add a fourth European crown, which would make them the most-successful nation in the competition’s history. Albania complete the group and many expect them to just be making up the numbers. So, will Croatia be able to make their mark alongside two European powerhouses?
