[KTChampions]

Bookmakers are currently quoting the Croatia - Italy game as:
3.15 - 3.15 - 2.44
and I must say that in this tournament Croatia looks much worse than 3.15. Italy is also not perfect, but I like 2.44 better. It seems to me that this game will end with Italy winning 1-0 or 2-0 since they have an advantage (a draw is enough for them) and they know how to defend.

I agree that the odds should be slightly higher on Croatia, maybe somewhere close to 4.00, considering that against Spain they were even over 5.00 at one point. It is possible that bookmakers still take into account that Croatia has players who can significantly contribute to its game if they play tonight - and this means that Italy is a slight favorite in this match. It is true that their key element is defense, but the question is whether they can last the whole game defending - because realistically you can defend well for 90 minutes and get a goal in stoppage time.

Everything will probably depend on whether Croatia will manage to score a goal, and then Italy would have to change tactics and go on the attack. I hope that it will not be the kind of match in which only one goal will decide the winner - so it somehow seems to me that the option of both teams scoring could be the most likely option for those who will bet.

But you can defend for 90 minutes and score 3 goals on counterattacks and then the goal you conceded in extra time will not matter at all  
The problem (for Croatia) is that Italy needs at least one point in order not to depend on the Albania - Spain game. If a demotivated Spain loses and Italy also loses, then Italy will take fourth place and will immediately be eliminated from the tournament.

Croatia vs Italy is a very important match for both teams... The winner can be in second place, but on the condition that Albania does not beat Spain... Now in this group any team can be in second place... Spain are already guaranteed first place and can play Albania with a reserve team... It will be interesting to see how Croatia will play and whether they can beat Italy...

Sure,in group B, the battle for second place was very tight. The reason is, Italy, Croatia and Albania still have the same chance of occupying second place. Maybe a strong candidate who will definitely fill second place in Group B between Croatia and Italy. Because in my opinion, Albania is quite impossible considering that the team they will be playing against is Spain, which has the best performance in Group B. So it is certain that Albania will lose to Spain. However, the Italy vs Croatia match will definitely be a little difficult to predict. Because if you look at the performance of the two teams, in my opinion it can be said to be quite balanced. But my prediction is that Croatia will definitely win this match, because if you look at Croatia's performance in the friendly match, you could say it was better than Italy. Because in friendly matches Croatia was able to beat strong teams like Portugal and Egypt. So I will entrust this bet to Croatia.

Scotland and Hungary faced each other in the third week of Euro 2024. In the 90+10 minute, Hungary secured a 1-0 victory with a goal scored by Csoboth. With this result, Hungary, finishing third in Group A with 3 points after Switzerland, gained a significant advantage on their path to best third place. Both teams were effective in attack throughout the match, making it an enjoyable game to watch.

[Unsoldier]

Croatia is really in a difficult position that tonight it has to beat Italy if it wants to continue with the competition, and on the other hand, a draw is enough for Italy. It is interesting that Italy never managed to beat Croatia in official matches.

When teams like Croatia and Italy meet, you always expect a lot of goals. However, the stakes are too high today, with a group exit at stake, so the teams won't take too many risks. This means that there will probably be few goals. Italy need a draw, but this will not give the Italians confidence. The Croatians will fight for the victory and this factor will give them extra strength. I think Croatia will win 1-0.

Croatia have been disappointing in this tournament, only drawing with Albania is
never going to cut it.

Italy need to get more shots in and more shots on target if they want to win.

But indeed this match is quite interesting where their only chance to qualify is to win in the last match today but indeed this is a mission that is quite difficult and could even be impossible to happen especially with Croatia's condition at the euro this time which is not really going well for the problem of performance owned.

If in the end they still want to be in this competition then the last match against Italy must be a life and death match because surely Italy will also do the same thing where they don't want to be missed to get the runner-up position in this group.

For Spain and Albania I do not have any situation for this because in my opinion with the confidence that Spain has now and with 2 previous wins they will definitely be more confident even though actually losing or drawing is not a problem for them but I am sure for now Spain will try to make points perfect for them in the Euro group phase this time.

Croatia vs Italy is undoubtedly one of the most important matches of the day. Both teams have performed below expectations in this tournament in my opinion. A draw will be enough for Italy to advance to the next round. But Croatia have to get 3 points in this match to advance to the next round. This match is Croatia's last chance. That's why I think both teams will score goals in this match. The Italians are the favorites to win. But I will bet on both teams to score. I think we will watch an entertaining game.

In terms of opportunities, Italy is far superior, but in terms of ambition, it is clear that Croatia really wants to win this match by maximizing its advantages. Croatia has no choice but to score the full 3 points in any way, so if we refer to Croatia previous 2 matches, in this match Modric and his friends must be able to force their troops to play solidly. Betting on both teams to score makes sense and I would do that too. For Croatia today the pressure was much greater than for the Italian players.

Italy does have great players in their national football squad but they still got totally dominated by Spain at their last match in terms of ball possession and the total number of goal attempts. Italy will need to improve their performance if they wish to progress to the next stage and I think the players of Italy will surely put up their best fight against Croatia today, I guess Italy will be able to beat Croatia at the final whistle to get the crucial 3 points.

[Agbamoni]

Another good day for Spain to get another 3 points in Group B. Playing against Albania is something that will be easy for them. Because Albania may not seem to be as tough as Italy. Meanwhile, Spain managed to get a win from their last game by getting lucky enough to escape the defensive line of Italy. I don't think Croatia will be lucky this time. This is because currently, we can see that Croatia and Albania have the same strength of performance which made them have a draw last game. Either Croatia or Italy must have a win today to be qualified for the next stage.

Maybe it used to be like that, although when I look at Italy's games, big scores happened quite rarely in their games, but now, when it looks like Croatia is already far from their peak, I don't expect Italy to concede a goal today. By the way, bookmakers disagree with me: BTTS is estimated as 1.90, total 0.5 over for Croatia is estimated as 1.44. To be honest, now it seems profitable to me to bet on a total under than 0.5 (for Croatia) with odds of 2.63.

Either Croatia or Italy must have a win today to be qualified for the next stage.

Spain has guaranteed the top position in Group B after they secured 6 points; hence, whether it is a win or a loss for Spain against Albania, they have little motivation to play the game, and it gives advantages to Albania, which is highly motivated to win the game. In another game, and it's very feasible, Italy may lose to Croatia, and Albania seems to be able to get three points from Spain. Croatia seems to have become a very big obstacle for italy. 

Italy may tumble to third place, but their chances of finishing second are really high. It is impossible to believe Italy will be able to defeat Croatia without a lot of effort.Italy lacks competent forwards; hence, the only option for it to win is with a little margin, and again, Croatia has the capacity to surprise it.

I don't know but something just tells me that game is gonna end being a draw well atleast that's my opinion although I feel Croatia can still step up their game and surprise the Italian by actually manouver their way to Victory, if they had some sort of tight defense line then I would have suggested that they would maybe hold back and absorb the pressure and maybe hit the Italian on a quick counter but with the rate at which they have conceive goals, I feel even if they score Italia can still comeback to score and even win the game.

In the real sense of today's game between Italy and Croatia, Italy doesn't have to beat Croatia to qualify from Group B, all they need is a draw match point to be at the second spot with 4 points, topping Albania and Croatia. However, Italy can hold onto Croatia to a draw match but it won't be an easy one for them to achieve because Croatia will give their best shot to make sure they have the 3 points. Anyway, it's 4 hours to the match. Hands fold, match tension on the rise on both teams that will succeed to qualify over the other. It can be Italy or Croatia

[Despairo]

Here are my speculation:

Croatia vs Italy, draw.
Netherlands vs Austria, Netherlands to win.
France vs Poland, France to win.
Albania vs Spain, draw.

I think Italy and Croatia will ended goalless considering Croatia isn't an aggressive team, while Italy is a defensive team. For both Netherlands and France, it's clear both of them are strong. As for Albania vs Spain, it just a wild speculation.

Scotland and Hungary faced each other in the third week of Euro 2024. In the 90+10 minute, Hungary secured a 1-0 victory with a goal scored by Csoboth. With this result, Hungary, finishing third in Group A with 3 points after Switzerland, gained a significant advantage on their path to best third place. Both teams were effective in attack throughout the match, making it an enjoyable game to watch.

Apart from being fun to watch, the match was also a very painful match for Scotland because the goal in that minute was a goal that Scotland could not reply to because the game time was running out. So apart from being enjoyable, there was also deep pain for Scotland after the Scottish side were able to defend themselves from conceding in the early minutes of the match. And Scotland's defeat by a narrow score has also placed them in last place in group A of Euro 2024 because it was their last match for group A.

Italy can get a draw and that will be enough for them, so I think Spalletti will focus on playing in defense. Croatia will have no choice but to attack, because they only need a victory, and before I would have said that Croatia might have a chance to win, but now they couldn’t even beat Albania, so there’s no point in talking about a victory over Italy, I think that Italy will not lose this game.

If Italy play today with the intention of getting a draw, I will consider that a very risky gamble that can cost them the qualification. What they should do is to go all out to win the match and where winning is not possible, they can settle for a draw. In other words, a win is their safe escape and they have to try to score first before if Croatia scores first, they might hold on to that goal until the end of the match. It is important to note that a win by Croatia will put Italy chances of qualifying at a very serious risk because there is no assurance that the will get the best loser spot. It is indeed a very serious match that will have more attention than the match between Albania and Spain.

I don't think Spain will have much difficulty in this match. Albania is a much weaker team than them, I will be really surprised if we see a surprise result and Albania wins this match.
The real good match is the match between Italy and Croatia. Even if Italy draws, they will advance to the next round, so they will play in a controlled manner. I think they will try to win the match without taking too much risk

Yeah, on paper Spain is certainly better in all aspects and Spain have not conceded a goal so far but there is a possibility that Spain will play it safe to avoid injuries or other things so they just need a draw. On the other hand, Albania also had a good performance in the last 2 matches even though they only collected 1 point, but their efforts should be appreciated. Albania has the ability to carry out fast attacks this was proven when they scored the first goal in the last 2 matches unfortunately their weakness is defense.

Another match between Croatia vs Italy is of course the most interesting, if Croatia win then 3 teams from group B will go to the next round on the other hand, if Italy and Spain win then Group B only has 2 teams to qualify. Overall I predict there will be lots of goals in this match, at least 3 goals so as a gambler I will bet on both teams to score and over total goals. Do you think there will be any surprises in the group B matches? especially between Croatia vs Italy.

If Croatia wins the match against Italy (assuming Albania won't win), Italy will be the third placed team of group B with 3 points and they will have a great chance to qualify to the next round, but there is no guarantee of that and it will still be possible that only 2 teams from group B advance to the knockout stage.

With Spain current strength I am very optimistic that they can overcome Albania game today. So it's actually quite easy to guess the final result, but we also can't rule out that Albania might be able to put up a fight and both teams will score equally. On the other hand the Italy vs Croatia match should be the most aggressive match, considering that Croatia must use all its strength to get 3 points. Italy has a very solid defense, even their rhythm of play has become more developed and they are able to take advantage of quick counter attacks. It could be considered that the Italy vs Croatia match is the only match for Croatia to get a chance.

I don't think they will allow themselves to get beaten twice and so they will ensure they get a win tonight but it's not going to be an easy feat because Croatia are also looking for an opportunity to remain on the competition so it's safe to say these two will duel it out for supremacy.
The last time these two met ended in a draw and history has it that Italy had a poor record against Croatia. Of the nine times the two have met, Croatia has won three and the rest ended in draws.
 Though a draw will see Italy stay in the tournament, they can't afford to take chances as any mishap will mean Croatia progressing to the next round, as long as Albania doesn't beat Spain which will be a very unlikely event.
