Spain - Croatia: Match Preview
Having won the World Cup, Spain began their Nations League campaign with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over England. Luis de la Fuente's side had to come from behind, but ultimately managed to snatch the win in the previous round. Spain, the reigning world and European champions, also have considerable experience in the Nations League. The team have reached the tournament final in each of the last three editions and have lifted the trophy once. Croatia, after being eliminated by Portugal in the round of 32 at the World Cup, began their current Nations League campaign with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic.
In recent years, Croatia have established themselves as one of the most consistent national teams in world football. During this period, the team have reached a World Cup final and the Nations League final. It was in the Nations League final that Croatia last faced Spain. In June 2023, the Spaniards prevailed in a tense penalty shootout to become tournament winners.
