Euro 2024 Matches to Watch Out For
All the Group B encounters, which involve Spain, Croatia, Italy and Albania are expected to high-octane ones. Unsurprisingly, this group has been dubbed as the ‘Group of death’, with heavyweights like Italy, Croatia and Spain vying for those top two spots.
Another fascinating battle will take place when France will square up against the Netherlands. This game will be hosted by the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
