Croatia lean hardest on Dominik Livakovic (7.2), Luka Modric (7.2), Josko Gvardiol (7.2) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Spain lean hardest on Mikel Oyarzabal (8.9), Rodri (8.9), Unai Simón (8.9) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Nico Williams is out for Spain — index 6.7, against 9.5 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
Eric García is out for Spain — index 6.7, against 8.6 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
Eric García is out for Spain — index 6.7, against 8.6 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
Ferran Torres is out for Spain — index 8.4, against 7.6 for the best cover we hold at his position. Noticeable.
The projected score for this one is Croatia 1 - 3 Spain, an away win by 2 with 4 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.
The read: Spain at 1.28 is heavily fancied away from home. Backing a favourite at that price only makes sense on the handicap.
