THE KEY STATS
- Croatia's win against Switzerland on MD2 was their first in the group stage at the U21 EURO finals. Their record is now (W1 D3 L7)
- Croatia have conceded at least one goal in ten of their previous 11 group stage matches at the U21 EURO finals
- England have won only three of their last 18 group games at the U21 finals (W3 D5 L10) and they are without a win in the last five (D1 L4)
- England have conceded two goals or more in four of their last five U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches
THE PREDICTION
Croatia’s 3-2 victory over Switzerland in their second match has given them the advantage over the Swiss in the battle for qualification. They are reliant on Portugal, who could rest and rotate, doing them a favour if the Croats were to drop points in their final match against England. An England side that were overrated and overhyped before the tournament. There is an abundance of genuine talent in the squad but not on the level with a few other sides and it has been badly mis-managed, again. Croatia are coming up against a side who are yet to score, have lost both games and had just one shot on target in two matches; they should win.
