Spain vs. Croatia: Who will lay the foundation in European Championship Group B?
The first matchday already boasts exciting matches!
Right at the start of the tournament, we can present a real highlight of the 2024 European Championship with our Spain - Croatia betting tip. The Croatians have also done very well in recent tournaments. Spain have always been among the favorites anyway. Nothing has changed in that respect. But what is most important to us in our Spain - Croatia prediction? On the one hand, we take a closer look at the group. Because that's what the nations' objectives are based on. We also look back at the qualification for EURO 2024 and the corresponding results. The EURO 2024 will take place in Germany. Spain versus Croatia can be seen at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. The almost 75,000 fans in the capital will hopefully get to see a soccer festival. The match will take place on Saturday, June 15, 2024 (6 pm) - just one day after the opening match. It is a match from match day 1 of Group B.

What speaks for Spain vs. Croatia in the betting tip?
Normally, you don't need free bets to bet on Spain. But it is by no means an easy task against Croatia. Group B at the 2024 European Championship is not yet complete. The Italians and Albanians also want to secure one of the top spots. Spain must not be left behind. So how big is the offensive drive against the Croats? We don't think the Spaniards will go all out on the offensive. A constant defense, as in the qualification for EURO 2024, is also to be expected. However, our Spain - Croatia betting tip is based more on tangible statistics than on speculation.
Spain lack a real goal scorer. But Joselu has scored four goals. We know him from the Bundesliga. Morata also has four goals.

How the Spaniards fared in the European Championship qualifiers
Spain was allowed to compete in Group A. Qualifying was no walk in the park. But at least the lead over third place was large, with a ten-point advantage in the end. Spain itself had seven wins and one defeat. The offense was very variable with 25 goals. Five goals conceded, on the other hand, is one of the best figures in qualifying for EURO 2024. Incidentally, the Scots finished behind the Spanish national team. They finished on 17 points, four points behind the Spaniards. Norway (eleven points), Georgia (eight points) and Cyprus (zero points) complete Group A.
Spain knew how to score goals even without a goal scorer. The defense, which conceded few goals during the qualifiers, seems to be in an even better position.
Spain
System: 4-2-3-1.
How good is Croatia's current form?
What can Croatia expect going into the European Championships? The Croatians have certainly done amazingly well in recent tournaments, at least by their standards. But in a group with Spain, Italy and Albania, progressing is difficult. The Croats could settle for a draw in the top games and then finish second against Albania. Because one thing must not be forgotten: The top nations Spain and Italy also play each other and steal points accordingly. Nevertheless, the Croatians will try to take advantage of any opportunities that arise. However, the Croatian national team is the slight underdog against Spain.
Croatia's top scorer is known from the 1st Bundesliga. This is Andre Kramaric from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

How the Croatians fared in the European Championship qualifiers
Croatia put in a fabulous final spurt in the European Championship qualifiers. With two victories over Armenia (1:0) and Latvia (2:0), the nation secured second place. Turkey came first with 17 points and 14:7 goals. Then came the Croatians with 16 points and 13:4 goals. The offense had some scoring problems here and there. However, the defense was also one of the best in the qualifiers. According to our Spain - Croatia betting tip, the Croatians had five wins, one draw and two defeats in the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Wales had a chance of making the tournament for a long time. In the end, however, it was only enough for twelve points and 10:10 goals. Armenia and Latvia complete European Championship qualifying Group D.
Croatia
System: 4-3-3.
