On June 24, Croatia - Italy will hold their meeting of the third round of the group stage of Euro 2024. Prediction for the match between these teams is made by Dailysports experts.
Croatia
According to the results of two matches, the Croats scored only one point, the team clearly lacks luck. In the first match they lost to Spain - 0:3, although the score is not on the game, because they definitely worked on one goal, and the opponent realized almost everything that was able to create.
There was an unpleasant residue and after the game with Albanians, when we missed first, but got back in the second half, scoring two goals in two minutes, to bring the match to victory failed, missed at 90+5 minutes, the result was 2:2.Now the team is cornered, need to play only for victory in the last round.
Italy
"Scuadra Adzura" still looks not the best at this tournament, and they are the reigning European Champions. In the first round they beat Albanians with a squeak - 2:1, although they could have missed the victory in the end.
The second game left even more questions, the Italians did not create anything forward against Spain, while the opponent dominated. It was frankly lucky that they lost only 0:1, they could have gotten at least three goals, Donnarumma did wonders in goal. The Italian goalkeeper made 7 saves in the above-mentioned meeting. The team is now second in the group, a draw guarantees the second line, although the holding game can be a dangerous venture.

Croatia vs Italy Prediction
On paper, the Italians are slight favorites, although it is worth an interesting battle on the counter courses. "Scuadra Azzura" will be satisfied with a draw, this is a chance to play from defense. The Croatians will take risks, because nothing will suit them but a win. I think it is interesting to bet on the exchange of goals.
