Spain vs Croatia Nations League Preview

After a shocking 7-0 loss to England in Rijeka, Croatia faces a tough challenge against world champions Spain at Stadion Poljud in Split on October 6. That heavy defeat marked Croatia’s worst in men's international football history. Spain, meanwhile, remains unbeaten in their last 41 matches—a global record—and have won their last 10 in a row under coach Luis de la Fuente.

Score Prediction

  • Predicted Score: Spain 2, Croatia 0
  • Odds: +650 at DraftKings

Top Betting Picks for Spain vs Croatia

  • Spain to Score First (-334 at bet365): Spain often starts fast. Lamine Yamal scored within the first two minutes in recent games at Wembley and Seville, as well as early against Czechia. Croatia’s only opening goal in this Nations League came versus Czechia; stronger teams like Spain and England have scored first against them.
  • Spain to Win by Two or More Goals (-356 at DraftKings): Spain has netted 10 goals in just three Nations League matches. Croatia’s defense appeared vulnerable, especially after conceding seven against England. Expect Spain to score multiple goals, aligning with the 2-0 prediction.
  • Lamine Yamal to Score Anytime (+110 at FanDuel): Yamal has scored inside the first six minutes in three straight games. Croatia will need an early boost to stay competitive at home. Though Yamal was subbed out at halftime against Czechia, it was a tactical move, not injury-related.
