Group B draws to a close on Monday night as holders Italy look to keep their hopes of retaining the trophy alive when they face Croatia at 8pm BST.
Luciano Spalletti’s side were dominated by Spain in their last match, and despite only losing 1-0, questions will be being asked back home about whether they’re equipped to defend their trophy at Euro 2024.
Meanwhile Croatia, who themselves were dominated by Spain in their opening match, enter the final group game off the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw with Albania.
Both sides will be fully aware of the talent that the other possesses, with Italy knowing that would qualify them in second place (at least) and Croatia knowing that anything other than a win would likely see them exit the competition at the group stages.

Prediction
Both sides will be disappointed with the result of their second match, and will need to bounce back immediately if they want to ensure making the last 16. With plenty of jeopardy, Italy are the likelier winners due to a more resolute defence and more inventive attacking options. Croatia 1-2 Italy.
