Spain vs Albania
Impressive Spain have secured the top spot in Group B and a place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 but will not be easing up against Albania in Dusseldorf on Monday. La Roja clinched their place in the knockout rounds with a 1-0 win over reigning champions Italy, while Sylvinho’s side sits third, thanks to a dramatic 2-2 draw with Croatia.
Spain are emerging as a firm favourite for the tournament after their narrow but convincing win over Italy on Matchday 2. They started with a victory over Croatia and followed it up with a 1-0 success over Italy, courtesy of an own goal from Riccardo Calafiori after brilliant work from Nico Williams. With six points, four goals scored, and none conceded, Spain has solidified its status as a serious contender for continental glory.
Albania, currently in the third spot on goal difference, will finish second if they can stun Spain and Croatia beats Italy by no more than two goals. Qualifying for the last 16 as one of the four best third-placed sides is also a possibility for them.

Croatia vs Italy
Italy and Croatia face each other with their Euro 2024 survival on the line in Monday’s decisive Group B match. Defending European champions Italy are well-positioned, needing only to avoid defeat against Croatia to secure a knockout place at Euro 2024.
The Azzurri’s first two games have been a roller-coaster, with a pair of quickfire first-half goals against Albania securing them three points, enough for second place heading into the final matchday. However, their 1-0 defeat to a dominant Spain and Croatia’s last-minute equalizer against Albania have left both teams anxiously eyeing the table.
Italy, second with three points after their opening win over Albania, will advance as the runner-up if they avoid defeat. However, they will be unable to progress if they lose and Albania beats group winner Spain in the other Group B decider.

Livakovic; Stanisic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Sucic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Budimir, Kramaric
