One of the most interesting games set to be played in the group stage of the UEFA Euro 2020 will be the one between England and Croatia in Group D. Both teams have been considered as title contenders before the start of the tournament, and this will give fans and experts a good idea on what to expect from each team in the tournament.
The English side will get to this game on a six-game winning streak. Gareth Southgate's men have scored 15 goals during that run, while their defense has only conceded one. The most recent match for this team ended in a one-nil result against Romania just a week before their debut in the continental competition.
On the other side of the pitch, the 2018 FIFA World Cup runners-up return to the continental competition trying to improve their result from the 2016 edition, when they were eliminated in the Round of 16. Speaking about their current form, the Vatreni have only won two of their last nine, which includes five losses. Their last win came against Malta back in March, when Dalic's men took home a three-nil win.
England may not be able to field their best possible players, as Harry Maguire and Buyako Saka are listed as doubtful for this game due to muscular problems. This will not be the case for Croatia, since Zlatko Dalic will have his best footballers at his disposal for this clash.
This will be the eleventh game between England and Croatia, but even if they have met quite a few times, this will be their first encounter in a UEFA Euro edition. Out of those ten games, the Three Lions have won five matches, with three matches going Croatia's way and two more ending in a draw. The most recent match between these teams took place in 2018 and ended in a goalless draw, but their most famous encounter took place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, when Croatia made it to the final by beating England 2-1 in the semi-finals.
