EURO 2024 match schedule today June 24: The battle of the group of death

Currently, Spain has already secured the ticket to continue as group winners, so the match with Albania is just a formality for the "Bulls". Meanwhile, Albania needs to win to have a chance to continue.

However, with Albania's strength, it is very difficult to beat Spain. Because, in the previous 8 matches, Albania lost all 8 against the Bulls, even they only scored 3 goals, conceding 31 goals.

The match between Croatia and Italy has received the most attention. After 2 matches, Italy has the advantage with 3 points, while Croatia has only 1 point. Italy only needs to avoid losing in this match to win the ticket to continue as the second place in Group B.

Meanwhile, if Croatia wants to get a ticket to the round of 16, they must beat the defending champion. If they draw, with 2 points in hand, considering the achievements of the 4 third-placed teams, Croatia will hardly be able to continue.

In the past, Italy and Croatia have met 9 times. Croatia won 3 times, drew 5 times and lost 1 time. Matches between Croatia and Italy are usually low-scoring, with each team scoring only 10 goals in the 9 matches mentioned above.

Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti said: “We have to bounce back quickly after the defeat against Spain. Sometimes we can make a difference from a tactical point of view, but they are quicker and react better. Against Croatia, we will have the opportunity to make a difference.”
