England meet Croatia at the Wembley Stadium (London) in the EURO 2020 Group D Round 1 match and the game kicks off at 2 pm (UK) on Sunday, June 13. Read our reason for England vs Croatia prediction and betting tips.
ENGLAND DRAWN AGAINST FAMILIAR FOES
England's high expectations ahead of every major tournament are notorious. However, this time around, it might be better to wholeheartedly believe in the Three Lions' chances. Gareth Southgate has a wealth of talent at his disposal and anything less than moving one step forward from the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup will be considered a disappointment. Croatia may have got to the World Cup finals in 2018, but their form since then has been very inconsistent. They do boast of having one of the most solid midfield in the tournament but lack a true goal scorer amongst their ranks, and defensively are a bit short on talent. Having said that, the bookies are automatically tipping Croatia to be England’s only threat in Group D.
THE THREE LIONS TO REMOVE THE ’PERENNIAL UNDERACHIEVERS’ TAG?
Gareth Southgate enters Euro 2020 with greater expectations on his shoulders than at the World Cup. He boasts an incredible stable of attacking talents and must prove he can use them. Harry Kane will be joined by a supporting cast that could include any of Mason Mount, generational hot prospect Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and more.
England should win their group with relative comfort, but doing so would throw them straight into the path of France, Germany or Portugal in the Round of 16. Finishing second in the group would lead to a far easier path for England. If England can navigate a high stakes Round of 16 clash, they could run all the way to the final.
A look at England’s betting odds: In England’s most recent match with Croatia, Kane scored the winner and banished any demons he had after his point-blank miss against the same side in the World Cup semi-final. Our first tip of the day is Harry Kane to score at any time.
KEY MIDFIELDER LUKA MODRIC AND CROATIA HAVE A TOUGH JOB
Things have not gone smoothly for the 2018 World Cup finalists during the past three years. Croatia have failed to find decent replacements for goalkeeper Danijel Subasic and star striker Mario Mandzukic, who retired from the national team after the historic campaign in Russia. Another concern is the fact that the ’Vatreni’ (The Fiery Ones) squad is ageing, with the key players no spring chickens anymore.
The results in the Nations League were hugely disappointing, the Euro qualifiers included poor results like defeat in Hungary and a draw in Azerbaijan, and the 2022 World Cup qualifiers started with a disastrous loss in Slovenia. Quality in midfield is still undisputed, but the general feeling is that the team is nose diving after their sensational overachievement.
A look at Croatia’s betting odds: A 3-3 draw with Turkey, 3-2 defeat by Portugal and 2-1 loss to France show they are beatable and can concede goals, and England will take encouragement from these results. Our second tip of the day is Over 2.5 goals.

This is the third meeting between England and Croatia at a major tournament. The Three Lions beat Croatia 4-2 in the group stages at Euro 2004 whilst the Croats prevailed 2-1 after extra-time in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup. It is vital for England to get underway with three points, and with attacking quality on show, there should be real problems for Croatia to deal with on Sunday.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
