Although Italy has never beaten Croatia in competitive games, being tactician masters, a draw is good enough to send them through. Donnarumma will do the needful to progress to knockouts, since a cleansheet for him automatically guarantees R16 qualification.
In all 24-team format tournaments where even 3rd best placing teams could still have a chance to qualify, ie 1986 1990 1994, 2016, 2020, Italy achieved 100% success to R16 in all five occassions. Croatia too achieved success in 2016 & 2020 Euros. This time round, Croatia won't be third time lucky. Italy will qualify. Croatia out!
For Croatia to succeed, they must win. This game against witty yet careful Italians is much harder than the previous game against Albania. Don't expect Italy to commit anymore mistakes leading to the two clumsy goals conceded against Albania and Spain. The last & only time Italy scored an own goal in a major tournament ie vs USA in 2006, they won the next 4 games with cleansheet victories & subsequently went on to win the World Cup. Such beliefs will be instilled to the players once again.
Prediction:
Total goals: UNDER 2.5
预言六度成功无敌大破解!!!!Despite fielding a B team, Spain has more than enough firepower to kill off Albania tonight. Losing a game to Albania (potentially kicking Italy & Croatia out via goal difference) in their 3rd game of Euro will distrupt their team form & winning momentum. This is unfair to the first team players who will be rested against the easiest opponent on paper. Note that Spain has a 100% winning record against Albania.
The spectacular 3-0 display against Croatia and 20 shots fired at reigning champion Italy showed that Spain fears no one in Euro. So far, they are clearly the best performing team. In addition, the Euro/WC trophy-lifting Spanish team in 2008, 2010 & 2012 saw them winning all their final group games (100%) by 1 goal difference.
In upcoming first match of R16 knockout, runners up of Group B tonight will face off with Switzerland (Group A runners up), a team that won Spain twice & drew 3 times out of 7 meetings (90mins play) since 2010. My view is that Spain will release a beaten predator like Italy/Croatia to help them get rid of Switzerland & other superpower rivals, tiring them out in the process. There will be no conspiracy, no drama, no surprise later.
Prediction:
Spain 1-0 2-1 Albania
Spain to win
