Croatia vs Italy Prediction: 24/6/2024

The stakes are high at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig) this Monday evening as Croatia and Italy vie for a spot in the EURO 2024 knockout rounds. Croatia, having settled for a 2-2 draw with Albania, can secure their advancement with a victory over Italy. Ante Budimir is expected to start over Bruno Petkovic, while the seasoned Luka Modric is likely to retain his spot in the lineup.

Italy, meanwhile, is coming off a lackluster 1-0 defeat to Spain, during which they managed only one shot on target at the Veltins Arena. Facing a seasoned Croatian team, bettors worldwide might see value in backing Mateo Kovacic and his teammates. For Italy, managed by Luciano Spalletti, there are no new injuries to report, and Juventus’s Andrea Cambiaso is anticipated to join the starting XI.

Prediction: 2:1
