Game Analysis

  • A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Spain is the shortest price on a book of 1.19 / 7.68 / 13.24 (1 / X / 2), an implied 80.3%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 80.3% / 12.4% / 7.2% on an overround of 4.6%.

  • Spain team news: Eric Garcia, a defender, has departed the national team's training camp due to knee discomfort.

  • Spain team news: Having scored and provided an assist off the bench against England, Alex Baena is expected to start on Tuesday.

  • Croatia team news: There are doubts surrounding Martin Baturina's fitness as gameweek two of the Nations League approaches.

  • Croatia team news: Slaven Bilic may consider bringing Ante Budimir and Marco Pasalic into the team.

  • Spain are without 3 — Joan García (Out - injured), Eric García (Out - injured), Pedro Porro (Out - injured).

  • Croatia are without 3 — Josip Juranovic (Out - injured), Martin Erlic (Out - injured), Martin Baturina (Doubtful - injured).

  • Early lineups are in: Spain set up 4-2-3-1 against 4-2-3-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.

  • The projected score for this one is Spain 2 - 0 Croatia, a home win by 2 with 2 goals in it — short of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Spain at 1.19 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
