Spain vs Croatia Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 29th September 2026

The match between Spain and Croatia will kick off this coming Tuesday at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan. This is a match in round two of the Nations League A group stage this season. Spain face off against Croatia for the first time in a while, with Spain claiming a 3-0 win at Olympiastadion back then.

While Spain join this game on Tuesday as number 1 in the FIFA world ranking, visitors Croatia are number 13.

Following the first round of the group stage Spain are number one on three, while Croatia have three as number two. Spain fought tooth and nail in a thrilling Nations League A group opener before they managed to secure a 3-2 win. Certainly, a much harder match than they would have preferred, but getting through such a nail-biting affair successfully adds confidence.

Spain arrive at their next Nations League A match, averaging a fabulous 2.8 goals per game in their last ten matches in which, they scored a delicious total of 28, while also conceding 17 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.7 per game in which, they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Coming away from their next Nations League A match with anything but a defeat for Croatia would be a massive surprise. It looks like a question of simply trying to minimize the defeat everyone expects them to suffer.

Croatia scored 12 goals, conceded 11 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
