Well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales shared his expectations for the 3rd round of the Euro 2024 group stage match between Croatia and Italy.
Roberto Morales- In my opinion, Leipzig will host the most interesting match of the final round of the Euro 2024 group stage.
A new breakthrough was expected from the Croatian national team, especially after the victory over Portugal. In the match just before Euro 2024. But in the opening match, Zlatko Dalic's wards lost to the Spaniards, 0: 3, then settled for a draw with the Albanians, 2: 2. Thus, the winners of the last two World Cups found themselves in a situation where they desperately needed a victory and had no alternative.
The Italian situation is more controversial. In the opening game against the Albanians, the Scudra Azzurra conceded the fastest goal in the history of European Championships, but still won. Instead, in the confrontation with the Spaniards, Luciano Spalletti's wards completely failed and only one missed goal is a smile of Fortune. Also, the Italians were strongly drawn by Gianluigi Donnarumma. The bet is Croatia will not lose and the total is over 2.5," Morales said.
