The two teams have not met in a match so far so this will be the first official match between Croatia and Albania.
Croatia will face Albania in a do-or-die UEFA EURO 2024 group stage clash at the Volksparkstadion on June 19 at 8pm. Croatia opened their campaign with a 3-0 defeat to Spain while Albania narrowly lost 2-1 to defending champions Italy.
It was not the start Croatia were hoping for and they needed to win this game to keep their knockout hopes alive. The same was true for Albania, who made a sensational start, taking the lead after just 23 seconds against Italy but were unable to hold on to the advantage.

Croatia's 0-3 loss to Spain in their opening match was their biggest defeat in the European Championships since a 0-3 loss to Portugal in 1996. Interestingly, their last two defeats in the tournament have both come against Spain.
They have suffered four defeats in their last six games at the EUROs, conceding 12 goals and will be looking to improve defensively in this game.
Albania have suffered defeat in three of their four European Championship appearances. However, they have scored a goal in each of their last two games in the tournament after failing to score in their first two outings. They scored with their only shot on target against Italy.
