2018 World Cup finalist Croatia will take on Spain in the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League Matchday Two in what promises to be a mouth-watering contest between the two of Europe’s strongest sides. Spain ran out winners against England in controversial fashion after Danny Welbeck was denied an equaliser in the dying moments of the game. But regarding the result, new head coach Luis Enrique will be happy with the determination shown by his men on the field.

Spain could file an unchanged line-up against Croatia although the performance of Iago Aspas was highly criticised. If Enrique does lose patience with his wide man, Alvaro Morata from Chelsea will be his likely replacement.

Goalscorer Rodrigo looked lively and will line up with Isco once again out wide where he will like to drive in and have a go at the defence. Skipper Sergio Ramos was pretty assuring at the back once again for Spain, and he will have to be at his best to thwart an attack boasting of Mario Mandzukic.

This is Croatia’s first competitive game since the 2018 World Cup final, and coach Zlatko Dalic finds himself in a spot of bother with both his first choice central defenders Dejan Lovren and Domogoj Vida out with injuries.

Their place in the starting eleven will most likely go to Bayer Leverkusen's Tin Jedvaj and Dynamo Kyiv's Josip Pivaric. Although the two are relatively untested, they are no pushovers. Croatia will once again look to star skipper Luka Modric and Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic to control the tempo of the game.

Expect an even clash with both sides creating plenty of chances. It will not be a surprise if both teams settle for a scored draw considering the wealth of attacking talent at disposal here.
