MATCH PREDICTION
Group B was always billed as this year’s so-called ‘group of death’ and it is playing out that way with two of Europe’s heavyweight teams heading into the final match day with the possibility of elimination. Croatia will likely be out if they do not defeat the defending champions Italy, whilst the Italians will be out if they lose and Albania defeat a likely heavily rotated Spanish side. Croatia will have to go after an Italian side that showed a lot of defensive vulnerability against the aforementioned Spain and Italy have a lot to prove to themselves and everyone else that Luciano Spalletti can get a tune out of them going forward like they did for around half an hour against Albania. It should be tense and nervy but potentially a thriller for the neutral with both teams scoring a good bet.
