Croatia will be facing Spain in the EURO 2020’s Round of 16 on June 28 at 5 PM CET in Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, Denmark. The match will be crucial for both teams, and it will be very difficult to guess the winner since the level of the two national teams are quite similar. Spain used to be more excellent in terms of performances and results, but in the last few years, Croatia’s level improved a lot, and they reached their peak during the 2018’s World Cup in which they reached the final. At the same time, Spain’s performances have been less convincing during this EURO 2020 since they failed to win against Sweden and Poland.
Yet, Croatia should not underestimate their opponent because the Spanish team is still one of Europe’s best teams, and they have proved that in the last group stage match by winning 5-0 against Slovakia. Croatia will rely on their excellent midfield players Luka Modrić, Marcelo Brozović, Mateo Kovačić to break down Spain’s defense with their passes to the final third as well as the wingers Ivan Perišić, Ante Rebić, or Nikola Vlašić to make penetrations towards the box and threaten Spain’s goal.
Spain however will need to avoid passive possession of the ball in this match if they want to qualify to the next round and at the same time make use of the great quality of their wingers Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres. Moreover, Álvaro Morata and Gerard Moreno will have to make sure they exploit the chances they get with success and be clinical, otherwise, Spain will suffer a lot in this match.
