Spain vs Croatia: what’s at stake?

Spain arrive in Seville having won the World Cup and then opened this Nations League campaign at Wembley three days earlier, which is a fixture list that would flatten most squads. They beat Argentina 1-0 in the final through Ferran Torres in the 106th minute, having outshot them 20-3, and they did it in a tournament where they also put out Portugal, Belgium and France. This is the best team in the world playing at home.

Croatia’s summer was short. Portugal beat them 2-1 in the round of 32 and that was that. Group A3 — Spain, England, Czechia and themselves — is a difficult place to rebuild, Croatia did win their opener though, 2-1 away at Czechia on the same night Spain won at Wembley, so both arrive on three points and this is effectively top of the group. and there is a further complication: their home fixture against England is being played behind closed doors under a UEFA sanction, which removes one of the few advantages a side in their position can rely on.

Team news and talking points

Rotation is the live question for Spain, who play again in October and have nothing to prove to anybody. A manager with a World Cup already won can afford to look at his bench on Matchday 2, and Croatia’s best hope is that he does. For the visitors, this is about limiting damage and saving something for the games they can realistically win, which is not this one. Spain opened the group at Wembley on Saturday; our England vs Spain preview covers how Matchday 1 set this up.

Spain vs Croatia prediction

Croatia have the experience to make this uncomfortable for an hour and not much beyond that. Spain will find the second goal eventually and see it out without alarm. Prediction: Spain 2-0.
