At 3 o'clock in the morning on June 25, Beijing time, the third round of Group B of the European Cup ushered in the focus battle, Croatia vs Italy, the game was played at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, and CCTV5 will broadcast the game live.

Croatia vs Italy, the highlights of the match are as follows:

First: the situation of the two teams! Croatia is ranked 9th in the world, with a total team value of 328 million euros, and the team has not done a good job in renewal, and the squad has suffered from aging, while Italy is ranked 10th in the world, with a total team value of 706 million euros, and the team is also star-stricken, especially the striker. In the first 2 rounds of the group stage of the European Cup, Croatia ranked at the bottom with 1 point in 2 rounds, losing 0-3 to Spain and drawing 2-2 with Albania. Italy is second with 3 points from 1 win and 1 loss, with a narrow 2-1 win over Albania and a 0-1 loss to Spain.

Second: In a battle against the water, it is difficult for the old Maig army to win Italy! Croatia has reached the point where it has its back to the water, and if it doesn't win, it is equivalent to being out, but the team's lineup is seriously aging, especially in the midfield, which is still the old combination of Modric + Brozovic + Kovacic. Although Italy is also a dim star compared to the past, it still feels slightly stronger than Croatia overall, and the defending champions can choose to defend the counterattack tactics in this game, allowing Croatia's aging squad to take the initiative to attack and then play the gap behind the checkered army. Croatia must win, and Italy will qualify with a draw. Considering the strength of the two teams' lineups and points, this campaign is optimistic about Italy's undefeated promotion. After all, football is a competitive sport, which is equivalent to sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and Croatia will pay the price for its aging and inability to update in time, and the top four teams of the two consecutive World Cups will stop in the group stage of the European Championship.

In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, Croatia has drawn 3 and lost 2, without a win.

Injuries and suspensions for both sides: Vlasic for Croatia; Italy has Dimarco (doubtful).
