Where to Watch Croatia vs Spain: TV and online streams

Prediction for Croatia v Spain

The last thing Croatia would have wanted after conceding seven goals against England is a meeting with a Spain side currently scoring freely against almost everyone they face.

Bilic should demand a far more disciplined performance after Saturday’s humiliation, and Croatia are unlikely to leave themselves quite as exposed as they did against the Three Lions.

Even so, their defensive problems are impossible to overlook. Spain scored four times in the reverse fixture and have now reached 10 goals after only three Nations League matches.
