England faces Croatia in round 1 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Sunday, June 13th at Wembley Stadium (London)
The national team of England was forced to reformat the squad during the final part of the preparation for the Euro. In the match against Austria, Alexander-Arnold was injured. As a result, Trent had to be removed from the list. However, Southgate has three more right fullbacks. It will not be a special tragedy that Greenwood did not have time to recover. Mason, with all his talents, played only one match for the Three Lions. All the same, Gareth could afford to ignore such Premier League stars as Watkins, Ward-Prowse, and even Lingard, who played brilliantly in the spring. Much more dangerous is the fact that Maguire has not played for a long time. Harry is still included in the roster, but he has not played since the match versus Aston Villa. And it took place more than a month ago, on May 9th. However, the British did not concede either from Austria or Romania. Both friendly matches brought 1-0 victories. However, these were test matches, and the lineups were experimental.

On the one hand, Croatia is going to the Euro as the vice-champion of the world. And this success (the main one in the entire football history of the country) was achieved only three years ago. But it looks like that peak has been replaced by a noticeable decline. The representatives of the Silver Generation have either ended their international careers or have grown older. No, there are also quite young stars headed by Vlašić. And Croatia does not fall below a certain rather serious level. And it proved its power in the qualification. But in 2021, the results of Zlatko Dalic's charges are not impressive. In the World Cup qualifiers, the Croats lost to Slovenia at the start. In June, they could not win against Armenia and lost to Belgium. And the game in Brussels was disappointing. Yes, Brekalo had an excellent chance, but Courtois saved the hosts. But before that show, which came in added time, the vice-world champion really didn't have any chances.
Croatia twice took the points from the British in the qualification for Euro 2008. And they even gave Russia a ticket to the tournament, leaving the Three Lions outboard. And most importantly, the Croats beat England thanks to Mandzukic's goal in extra time. But the British took revenge in the Nations League (0-0 and 2-1). Now bookmakers believe that England will be the favorite. The hosts must prove their higher class at Wembley, and we bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: England to win
