Croatia vs Spain prediction

THE FORECAST

Spain are the FIFA world's top-ranked side and lead their Nations League group with a perfect nine points and an impressive 3.3 goals per game average, while Croatia arrive having conceded 11 goals across two consecutive defeats and sit bottom of the group. Spain's away record (71% wins) actually exceeds Croatia's home win rate (64%), further tilting the balance towards the visitors. Mild, neutral weather conditions pose no obstacle to Spain's typically high-intensity pressing style, and with 37 days until the next fixture for both sides, full-strength lineups are expected from each camp.
