Despite failing to register a win in their previous Group B tie in Euro 2024, the winner between Croatia and Italy can still advance to the Round of 16 as the runners-up when the two nations clash at Red Bull Arena on Monday.
The Checkered Ones weren't able to take advantage of the own-goal that put them in the lead against Albania last time out as the latter scored a late equaliser in the four-goal draw.
Meanwhile, although the Italians picked up a 2-1 victory over Albania in their opening game, Gli Azzurri conceded an own-goal that ended up being the winner against Spain.
