Preview:
The stage is set for a critical encounter in Hamburg, Germany as Croatia takes on Albania in their second Group B match of Euro 2024. Both teams suffered defeats in their opening fixtures, making this a must-win game for their qualification hopes.
Croatia Seeking Redemption
Croatia, runners-up at the 2018 World Cup, came into the Euros with high expectations. However, their campaign got off to a shaky start with a loss to Spain. Coach Zlatko Dalić acknowledged the need for improvement: “We need to perform better than in the first match. Albania deserve respect, but we will be more offensive this time.”
Questions surround the team’s tactics. Croatia boasts experienced midfielders like Modric and Kovačić, but their creativity needs to translate into goals. The likes of Kramaric will be under pressure to convert chances.
Albania Aiming to Upset Again
Albania, despite the opening day defeat to Italy, surprised many with their spirited performance. They stunned the Italians with a goal in the 23rd second, the fastest in Euros history. Coach Sylvinho remains optimistic: “We need to take our chances and do our best. Croatia is a quality team, but anything can happen.”
Albania’s success hinges on their defensive organization and exploiting Croatia’s potential weaknesses on the counter-attack. Players like Bajrami, who scored the historic goal, will be crucial in their attacking threat.
