Top match for the round of 16. AI Tip & Experts Prediction, 24.06.24
Croatia vs Italy: Which nation will advance to the round of 16?
Let's start with the basics in our Croatia - Italy betting tip. With three points, the Italians are in a comfortable position to progress. Only first place in the table is rather unlikely with a strong Spain above them. The Croatians are currently bottom of the table with one point. Only a three-pointer will help here. In our Croatia - Italy prediction, the question remains as to whether both teams can reach the round of 16. In fact, this is possible. Teams with three points also progressed at Euro 2021. If Croatia wins narrowly against Italy, both teams could possibly (depending on the other games) reach the last 16. In addition to our manual analysis, we also carried out an AI prediction. In doing so, we provide the relevant data to an artificial intelligence and let it decide the outcome of the match. However, this betting aid is only intended as a supplement to professional betting. Kick-off: June 24, 2024, at 9 p.m. in the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.

AI prediction for the match between Croatia and Italy?
Although the Draw X in this match only has added value for the Italians, the artificial intelligence is betting on this result. The Croatia - Italy AI prediction is presumably influenced by the direct comparison, where five out of nine games ended in a draw. The Croatians also drew one of their two group matches.
What speaks for Croatia vs Italy in the betting tip?
With regard to our betting tips from professionals, we want to start by looking at the Croatian national team. Because the Fiery Ones have not cut a good figure in the tournament so far. They started with a 0:3 loss against Spain. Although Croatia created chances, the Spaniards were visibly better. Well, perhaps Spain is currently the best team in the tournament. So the focus is suddenly on the second game. A three-pointer against Albania was definitely on the cards. However, according to our Croatia - Italy betting tip, it wasn't enough. In general, the Croatian national team had the better chances. But on the one hand, the Albanians created enough chances themselves. On the other hand, only the result counts in the end anyway. In the end, the score was 2:2.
In the latest European Championship match against Albania, Kramaric scored for the Croats. The second goal was scored by Gjasula (own goal), who later also equalized for Albania.

Croatia: Review of the test matches and qualification
First of all, we want to look at the test matches before the start of EURO 2024 in our prediction. Of course, we have also fed this data into the Croatia - Italy AI prediction. The Croatians won somewhat surprisingly 2:1 over Portugal and CR7. Before that, it was even enough to win 3:0 in the duel with North Macedonia. The tournament is therefore certainly surprising for the Fiery Ones in a negative sense. However, the Croats did have a little trouble in the European Championship qualifiers. They only finished second in Group D, behind Turkey (17 points). The Croatians finished on 16 points. Runners-up Wales collected twelve points. Croatia also recorded five wins, one draw and two defeats. They scored 13:4 goals.
Especially after the first two matches at EURO 2024, we can see the Croats as outsiders at best. We would like to praise their defensive performance during the European Championship qualifiers.
How good is Italy's current form?
For our Croatia - Italy betting tip, we would also like to look at the form curve of the Squadra Azzurra. Of course, the initial focus is also on the first two games of the European Championship 2024 in Germany. The Italians started off with a narrow 2:1 victory over Albania. However, the Italians were first caught off guard with the fastest goal of EURO 2024. After just over 20 seconds, Italy were 1-0 down. However, they quickly managed to turn the game around, only to make it exciting again at the end. Italy won 2:1 against Albania, but only managed a 0:1 draw against Spain in the second match. Spain were better in every respect. It speaks volumes for the defense and especially for goalkeeper Donnarumma that only one goal was conceded.
Many experts had predicted Italy's defeat to Spain. The only tragedy in the story is that an own goal by Calafiori was responsible for the 1-0 defeat.

The Italians finished qualifying for the tournament with four wins, two draws and two defeats.
