Luciano Spalletti's Italy will play their last group stage match of the UEFA Euro 2024 against Croatia on Monday, a deciding clash after the disappointing one against Spain that will force the Azzurri to get at least one point against the side coached by Zlatko Dalic. Croatia lost their opening game against Spain and then drew against Albania last Wednesday, and this is why they can only win against Italy to hope for qualification for the round of 16 of the tournament.
