Looking back at the accumulated head-to-head momentum between the two sides, Spain holds a distinct psychological advantage over Croatia. In their most recent Nations League meeting, Spain cruised to a 4-1 away win against Croatia, having already established a solid 2-1 lead by half time. The 6-2 total corner count across the full 90 minutes perfectly demonstrates Spain’s dominant on-pitch control throughout that fixture. Their past encounters also show a clear competitive hierarchy. At the European Championship group stage, Spain claimed a resounding 3-0 clean sheet victory over Croatia at a neutral venue, a performance that left a deep impression on all observers. Even in their earlier Nations League clash held on neutral ground, Spain relied on their top-tier collective tactical awareness to dictate the game rhythm, and eventually settled for a draw against their opponents. The two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at a neutral venue during the 2021 European Championship, wher

Croatia’s recent run of form has raised major red flags ahead of this home Nations League tie. Their humiliating 0-7 thrashing at the hands of England in their last outing saw them trail 0-4 at half-time, with the side earning only one corner across the full match compared to their opponents’ six. This lopsided stat not only exposes huge defensive vulnerabilities, but also highlights severe breakdowns in their transition play between attack and defense. While they previously notched a 2-1 away win over Czech Republic to show flashes of resilience, their inconsistent performances across the last World Cup campaign saw them fall to defeats against top-tier sides Portugal, England and Brazil, picking up three points only against lower-ranked Ghana and Panama. Their overall win rate is simply not high enough to sustain consistent competitiveness in high-intensity elite clashes. Spain has been in blistering, unbeatable form across recent competitive windows. They first claimed a dominan

The two nations have posted sharply contrasting form trajectories in their recent fixtures. Croatia have claimed very few wins while racking up far more defeats, with a crushing home loss in their last outing leaving their team morale badly dented. Spain, by contrast, have kept their undefeated run intact across their latest stretch, notching consecutive wins over high-caliber opponents to hold a clear edge in both match sharpness and confidence. Their recent head-to-head history also tilts heavily in their favor: they have not lost to Croatia for years, and secured a dominant large-margin win the last time the two sides faced off, granting them a huge psychological advantage. In terms of squad situation, Croatia will be without holding midfielder Mišic due to a red card suspension, which notably undermines their midfield defensive stability and adds extra on-pitch pressure for the rest of their lineup. Spain, however, have no injury or suspension concerns at all, with a fully fit squ

Levante builds a complete offensive and defensive framework at home with a 3-5-2 wing-back system. The two wing-backs are responsible for high-intensity sprints, taking into account both defensive cover in the back and offensive support in the front. They mainly rely on crosses from the flanks and aerial battles in the penalty area to create goal-scoring opportunities. The home team averages 6.2 dribbles past opponents on the flanks per game. The overall success rate of their aerial duels is 48.5%. They are also quite effective in creating chances from set-pieces in the front. However, Levante's defense has a relatively slow lateral movement. When the opponents continuously shift the ball horizontally to mobilize the defense, the overall defensive line is prone to being stretched, leaving minor defensive loopholes. As for Athletic Bilbao, they will need to capitalize on these potential weaknesses of Levante while also being cautious of the home team's offensive capabilities from the fl
