Croatia vs England: Nations League Preview
England head to Rijeka on Saturday evening looking to build momentum in the Nations League, but they face a Croatia side desperate to respond after their heavy defeat to Spain.
The Three Lions arrive in western Croatia having taken three points from their opening two matches. Thomas Tuchel's side were beaten 3-2 by Spain at Wembley before recovering with a 2-0 victory over Czechia in Prague. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane were on target in that win, with Trent Alexander-Arnold providing a delightful assist for the opener on his return to the starting XI.
Croatia began their campaign with a 2-1 victory away to Czechia, with Luka Modric among the scorers, but were brought back down to earth by Spain on Tuesday. Dion Beljo briefly brought Croatia level in Seville, only for Spain to eventually run out 4-1 winners.
That leaves both nations on three points heading into their meeting, although Spain have already established an early lead at the top of Group A3.
There is no shortage of history between these teams.
England's most recent competitive meeting came at this summer's World Cup, when Kane scored twice in a 4-2 victory. England also edged Croatia 1-0 at Euro 2020, but the Croatians will remember their most famous encounter far more fondly — the 2-1 extra-time victory in the 2018 World Cup semi-final.
Croatia's home fixture is officially being played behind closed doors following a UEFA sanction, although 100 England Supporters Travel Club members have been permitted to attend.
