Croatia – Italy Prediction

The attacking games of Italy was very poor in the match against Spain. The side made only 1 shot on goal with 0.2 xG. Italy has rarely performed well, attacking. A maximum of 1 goals has been scored in 5 out of the last 7 European Championship games Italy have played. The sides are unlikely to play brightly in this game.

Croatia have a solid defensive line. The side has conceded a maximum of 1 goal in 13 out of their last 17 European Championship games. Croatia kept the clean sheet in 5 out of their last 8 UEFA Euro qualifying games.

The head-to-head games statistics prove the same. Italy have never managed to score over 1 goal in the last 6 official matches versus Croatia. 

Our prediction is Italy Under 1.5 at .
