Spain -21 vs Croatia -21 Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro U21
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
The U21 European Championship sees Group B leaders Spain looking to make it two wins from two when they take on third-place Croatia. A week after their senior teams contested the Nations League final, the Spaniards find themselves as favorites yet again to walk away victorious from this clash. Spain, record five-time winners of this competition, kicked off their pursuit of a first title since 2019 with a routine 3-0 win over co-host nation Romania. The result is the latest in a long unbeaten run for La Rojita dating back to the qualifying campaign in November of 2021. The win also got Spain back on track after having drawn their last two friendly games in the buildup to the start of this tournament. Since their exit from the 2021 U21 Euros, Spain has ripped off 15 wins from 18 fixtures which includes a current streak of 11 games unbeaten. They’ve had no problems finding the net over the past year, scoring an incredible 40 goals in their last 11 matches.
Croatia suffered a 2-0 loss to Ukraine in the group stage opener on Wednesday. The result snapped a seven game unbeaten run for Mladi Vatreni who had entered this tournament off the back of a hugely encouraging 2-1 win over England. Croatia are now in a difficult spot, as they will likely need a result from this match to have a chance at progressing to the quarter-finals. The Croatians struggled to get going in the opening defeat against Ukraine as, despite firing off 22 shots in total, only three would land on target. They also don’t have the best recent history against their opponents as it was the Spanish that would ultimately knock Croatia out of the 2021 edition of this competition in Slovenia. Croatia have now won only two of their last six fixtures and they come into this one as heavy underdogs.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Spain -21 vs Croatia -21 Prediction
There is an abundance of talent on this Spanish U21 team which, along with England, are the two frontrunners for the trophy at this stage. With the Spanish able to call upon the likes of Sergio Gomez, Oihan Sancet, Rodri and Alejandro Baena, we find it hard to envision Croatia keeping up. Spain have also shown a propensity for huge score lines over the past 18 months which includes an 8-0 win, a 7-1 win and a 6-0 victory. We like them to take the three points in relatively comfortable fashion as they should be able to secure a multi-goal margin of victory. Our Spain U21 vs Croatia U21 prediction is Spain on the -1 European handicap.
