Sunday, June 13, 2021 – 09:00 AM EDT at Wembley Stadium
England has won at halftime & full-time during their previous four games in all competitions. Croatia is undefeated in their previous 7 Euro Championship away fixtures.
Croatia has recorded ten undefeated games across their previous 11 Euro Championship fixtures. England has avoided defeat in 65 of their previous 72 matches in all competitions.
Croatia has won a mere one game from their previous 12 away matches in all competitions. Croatia lost at halftime and full-time during their previous four away games in all competitions.
The stage is set, Wembley Stadium will host the opening match of Group D as one of the competition’s favourites to take it all; England will receive a considerable home welcome from its die-hard fans.
The Three Lions head into Sunday’s clash on a six-game winning streak, with recent encounters witnessing back-to-back 1-0 victories over Austria and Romania, respectively.
A 4-0 hammering over Iceland at the end of 2020 was followed by a clean sweep of victories over San Marino, Albania, and Poland. England strengthened their World Cup qualifying during March’s fixtures.
In fact, England is now reflecting on a minor two losses from their previous sixteen games, collecting thirteen wins and one draw to add.
Twelve clean sheets from those sixteen outings are another impressive stat, and five of those clean sheets have occurred from their previous six meetings – giving England a current form worth taking notice of.
A revenge game for England is in order this weekend, as the English fans will never forget Croatia eliminating them from the World Cup 2018 semi-finals. A newly refreshed England squad completely stacked with young talent will provide difficulties that Croatia will not have seen during that time.
The last time these two teams met, the English were successful in the Nations League encounter. With that said, this fixture is the actual revenge game as the European Champions and the World Cup are the only tournaments that matter.
Croatia enters the Euros campaign riding a two-game winless streak, not exactly the form they’d be hoping for when joining the elite of European football. Alongside their recent streak, we should point out that they’ve won just one game from their previous twelve away fixtures.
With fans in attendance, Wembley will be an intimidating venue for the weak away record of Croatia to find much hope.
Gareth Southgate’s squad is brimming with attacking prowess and is among the sportsbooks’ favourites to win it all. With the European Championship final set to take place at Wembley, England is aware that a date with destiny could severely affect early results.
However, England’s recent fixtures versus weak footballing nations like Romania and Austria, although winning these games, they have not provided the authoritative style of play that could penetrate the net of dangerous squads such as France or Italy.
So, yes, England should squeeze the 3-points this Sunday but expect it to be a tight one.
