Croatia will host Spain in a crucial UEFA Nations League 2026/27 League A Group A3 clash at the Poljud Stadium in Split on Tuesday.
Spain have made a perfect start to their Nations League campaign, winning all three of their matches so far. They defeated England 3-2 at Wembley before beating Croatia 4-1 in Seville and then securing a 3-1 victory over Czechia.
Luis de la Fuente's side currently have nine points from three matches and need only a win or draw against Croatia to mathematically secure their place in the quarter-finals.
Croatia, meanwhile, have had a difficult run after their opening 2-1 victory over Czechia. They suffered a 4-1 defeat against Spain before being thrashed 7-0 by England in their most recent match.
The defeat was Croatia's heaviest in men's international football.
