The Croatia national team enters this round looking to bounce back from its recent 1-2 loss to Portugal. The hosts are traditionally dangerous thanks to their balanced midfield and high passing quality. Croatia will need to deny its opponent space from the opening minutes in order to dictate the terms on home turf.

The England national team enters the matchup in excellent form, having recorded an impressive 6-4 victory over France in its most recent match. Jude Bellingham will remain the team's main creative hub in midfield, while Harry Kane will traditionally take on the role of the focal point in attack. England will look to take control of possession from the opening minutes, make use of its explosive wings, and rely on the high individual quality of its leaders.

The head-to-head history between these opponents recalls their recent high-profile meeting at the World Cup on 17 June, which ended in a high-scoring 4-2 victory for England. The upcoming Nations League clash will give the Croatian players an opportunity to seek revenge on home soil, while for the visitors, it will be another important step toward reaffirming their status as the favorite.
