The third game of UEFA Euro 2024 will see three-time winners Spain take on Croatia in Berlin on Saturday. These two familiar faces of European football are part of a competitive Group B that also includes Italy and both will want to get off to a good start. The Spanish perhaps even more so, taking into account that their second game is against the Azzurri, although Albania should not be completely ruled out either. Luis de la Fuente opted for a predominantly national team for this game, while few of Zlatko Dalic’s players ply their trade in their home country. This promises to be part of a first day full of group action in Germany.

Group B
The rest of Group B will begin on Saturday in Dortmund, when Italy and Albania face each other, but the big game in this group will be Spain v Italy in Gelsenkirchen in the second round. Depending on the initial results, it will be possible to shape the outcome of this group and decide which nation is likely to finish first. The Italians could have an initial victory so that things don’t get complicated with the Spanish and then Croatia last. Winning the group certainly has its advantages and places first or second on opposite sides of the draw, with second place likely to face second place in Group A, which features hosts Germany.

Team News
Spain: Marco Asensio, the injured Gavi and Pau Torres, while Pau Cubarsi, Marcos Llorente and Aleix Garcia were eliminated from the final squad. Spain’s friendly for the tournament ended with a 5-1 defeat of Northern Ireland. Offensive capacity does not appear to be a problem for this team, but questions remain in defense, where Aymeric Laporte and Robin Le Normand are the likely starters in central defense, both from France.
Possible Spain XI: Simon; Navas, Nacho, Le Normand, Cucurella; Pedri, Rodri, Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams.
Croatia: This is a veteran-led side. Luka Modric, Domagoj Vida and Ivan Perisic are all 35 or older, while Mateo Kovacic, Marcelo Brozovic, Andrej Kramaric and Ante Budimir are 30. On the one hand, this experience could be beneficial, as everyone played together during Croatia’s last deep tournaments, but it could also be a problem during a grueling month of games after the end of a long season, when other teams have younger legs. . Trust in.
Possible Croatia XI: Livakovic; Stanisic, Sutalo, Pongracic, Gvardiol; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Majer, Budimir, Kramaric.
Prediction
This one could be close, so a draw wouldn’t be a huge surprise. Spain may want to clinch the result by a narrow margin, but Croatia have experience in international tournaments, which could see them surprise the big names in Group B. Choice: Spain 1, Croatia 1.
