Among these, fans will pay attention to the Spain - Croatia match. This is a match between two strong teams, who have shown their ability in major tournaments.

At the most recent EURO, Spain defeated Croatia 5-3 after extra time. In last year's Nations League final, Spain also won on penalties to be crowned champions.

In terms of reputation in the history of EURO, Spain is of course the team that is rated higher. La Roja has won the championship 3 times. Meanwhile, Croatia's best achievement is reaching the quarter-finals. On the FIFA rankings, Spain is also in a higher position (8th place compared to 10th place for Croatia).

However, considering the strength of both sides and current form, the strength of the two teams is not too different. While Spain has had two big wins in the last two matches, Croatia has an even better record with five wins in the last five matches.

Spain still has experienced players who have won major titles many times such as Dani Carvajal, Rodri, Álvaro Morata while Croatia also has a squad that has achieved many good results in recent times such as Luka Modrić, Marcelo Brozović, Mateo Kovačić.

Therefore, the upcoming match will be very difficult to predict when the balance of the two sides is not too different. This match is also important in the race to the next round when in Group B there is also the reigning champion Italy. Therefore, both teams will have to be very careful on the opening day of this year's tournament.
