Spain vs Croatia Predictions

• Spain have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine matches
• Spain last lost at home in 2022
• Five of Croatia’s last six games have gone over 2.5 goals

La Roja on the march again

Spain once again demonstrated their credentials as the best team in international football with a comeback 3-2 victory over England on Saturday night, extending their unbeaten run to 39 games.

Goals from Lamine Yamal, Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal saw the visitors capitalise on any England mistake at Wembley, where their pressing and passing game was too much for Thomas Tuchel’s men.

La Roja have now won eight on the bounce and are fancied to make that nine when they host Croatia in this Nations League clash.

Slaven Bilic has taken over in the Croatian dugout for the second time and led his team to a 2-1 win over Czech Republic in the first game of his new stint in charge.

However, Spain are a huge leap in class and their recent defensive record makes them hard to oppose. Luis de la Fuente’s men have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine matches and have only faced 29 shots on target in their last 16 competitive games.

Three of the last five head-to-heads have seen Spain shut out these opponents and another win to nil could be on the cards.

Correct score backers may wish to stick with a repeat of the 3-0 win which the hosts managed the last time that these two teams met.
