This long-running, storied rivalry between two top European sides brings extra edge to their UEFA Nations League group stage clash, as Croatia welcome England to their home ground in Rijeka. Croatia’s form has been far from steady across the current group phase: they picked up three points against Czechia on matchday one before suffering a defeat to Spain in their last outing. Their backline has shown consistent vulnerabilities, with the side conceding goals in the majority of their recent fixtures. Luka Modric remains the anchor of their midfield, with Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol forming the spine of the first team. The squad still boasts excellent on-ball control and tactical organization in the middle third, with set pieces and long-range efforts their most reliable scoring outlets. Their biggest flaw comes from the advanced age of several core players, whose fitness drops sharply after the 60th minute, compounded by thin squad depth on the bench. Sustained high-tempo attacki

Level on points after two opening matchdays, both Croatia and England face clear pressure to take all three points here to keep pace with group leaders Spain in this UEFA Nations League top-tier group. The fixture will be played behind closed doors due to a disciplinary penalty imposed on the Croatian Football Federation. Croatia come into this game off a crushing 1-4 away defeat to Spain, with their backline long struggling to handle speedy attackers: they have conceded goals in 11 of their last 12 competitive fixtures. Worse still, first-choice central defenders Juranovic and Erlic are both sidelined with injuries, forcing the side to rearrange their center-back pairing for the third time in a row. For England, O'Reilly has withdrawn from the squad due to injury while Konsa is still recovering from his knock, but Bellingham has returned to full team training and is fully available for selection. Across their 12 all-time head-to-head meetings, England hold a dominant record of 7 wins,

Croatia’s run of form this season has been far from ideal, with half of their 10 recent outings ending in defeat, even as they picked up wins in the other 5 matches. Historically, the team has only notched 5 or more losses in a single calendar year three times, with the previous instances coming in 2018 and 2020, and they have never registered 6 defeats in any full calendar year to date. A big question on the minds of Croatia supporters ahead of their clash with England is whether this fixture will see them set that unwanted new record. We have analyzed relevant performance metrics to assess the probability of England securing a full three-point haul on their away visit.

In the La Liga, Levante, currently ranked 13th, will host Athletic Bilbao, sitting in 9th place. Looking at the latest league standings, both teams are in the middle of the table, yet their recent forms have shown very different trends. Levante has had a rather mediocre start to the season. In the first five rounds, they've only managed one win, two draws, and two losses, accumulating just five points. With a win - rate of only 20%, their performance is far from satisfactory. Although they've scored seven goals on the offensive end, they've conceded nine on the defensive side, resulting in a negative goal difference of two. This imbalance between attack and defense has been the key factor restricting the team's results. Levante's home form has been far from consistent. In two home games, they scored seven goals, showing good attacking flair. However, they also conceded six and lost a crucial home match, currently sitting 15th with just three points at home, failing to live up to the 'h
