The first match of the Group D – England vs Croatia – will play on the 13th of June in London. The English team host Croatia in an uneven match that can, however, bring a few surprises along the way. Let’s look at the match-up closer.
England
England is not just a favorite for the Group D – they are a consistent fixture in the Top-3 of the whole Championship. They have won all 5 out of their last 5 games. Additionally, the home advantage of the Wembley stadium is sure to bring them even more confidence. The newest team is already promised a historical run in the tournament. The upcoming game is crucial in defining the direction they will take going forward from this revenge match.
Croatia
Nobody expected the Croatian team to win in the semi-final of the World Cup 2018. Nobody expected them to defeat Belgium in the most recent friendly match at the beginning of June. Against all odds, they came out on top, and their spirit is higher than ever coming into this match.
Prediction
Croatia and England have a long history of rivalry behind their backs, and the matches between them are always intense and very entertaining to follow. The latest meetings between them finished at a very uncertain note: each team gained a win, and one common draw left them evenly matched. This match in particular is likely to finish with a few impressive goals, with slight favoritism towards England. Over 2 goals is a safe bet, and the correct score of 2-1 is a selection for those who like to live on the edge.
