Spain v Croatia Saturday 18.00 CET

Group B gets underway with two heavyweights clashing in Berlin.

Spain topped their group, qualifying ahead of Scotland, Norway, Georgia and Cyprus. Overall recent form is 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with only Colombia prevailing over them. Croatia finished behind Turkey but ahead of Wales, Armenia and Latvia. Recent form for them is 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats with an unbeaten run of 6 games.

Team news:  Spain have a slight doubt of CB Aymeric Laporte. Ivan Perisic isn’t classed as match fit just yet so could be on bench.

Head-to-head statistics: 6 games – 4 wins Spain, 0 draws and 2 wins Croatia.

Betting selection – Spain don’t seem to be on anyones tipping radar for this competition but will go deep for sure. Croatia will be looking to keep it tight. I take Spain to win 19-20 or 1.95 Betfair.
