Croatia managed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches, and have won their opening game of the tournament against Turkey with a convincing victory. They are eager to win the game and book a place in the next round before their final group game with Spain. Croatia has one of the best teams in the tournament and is outsiders to clinch the championship. Czech Republic came to the competition with a better record than Croatia, yet their recent performances have betrayed them. They cannot afford to lose another match and will be focused on defending well as they wait for another chance to attack. Croatia will look to dominate possession and control the ball from the midfield. The Croatian team will look for an early goal and look to get the victory with early goals.
