A resurgent Spain will take on Croatia in their next batch of Euro 2020 fixtures to be played in the Round of 16 this evening.

Luis Enrique's men looked poor against Sweden and Ukraine as they scrambled to draw twice but his refreshed squad finally clicked into gear with a 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia in their latest outing.

Spain's pre-tournament turbulence – the omission of stalwart Sergio Ramos and a positive COVID test among the camp – appears to have subsided and Enrique will now hope all focus can turn to his team's performances on the field.

It's a similar story for Croatia, who started Group D in muted, tired fashion, but they proved their lethal force going forward against Scotland, while Luka Modric found his feet in the tournament during that encounter.

This will be Spain’s first clash away from Seville at the Euros but Croatia will hope to send them home for good when the two sides meet in Copenhagen.

Croatia v Spain team news

Croatia: There are no injury concerns for Croatia here but boss Zlatko Dalic may opt to change his XI around from that which beat Scotland.

Modric will of course start in midfield but Ante Rebic, Andrej Kramaric and Josip Brekalo could all come back into the first team.

Spain: There are no fresh injuries for Spain but Enrique will almost certainly switch his team around from the one that beat Slovakia 5-0 on Wednesday.

Don’t be surprised if Torres, Rodri and Thiago Alcantara return to the XI. Adama Traore, however, is likely to remain on the bench.

Our prediction: Croatia v Spain

Croatia have blown hot and cold so far at Euro 2020 and could suffer against a Spain side that appeared to finally click against Slovakia last time out.

Granted, Spain aren’t exactly turning many heads themselves and Croatia have enough firepower to blow any side away. Yet the momentum is certainly with Enrique’s men.

This could be a tight encounter similar to the 0-0 draw Spain played out against Sweden in their first group game. But a late winner could well go La Roja’s way.

Our prediction: Croatia 0-1 Spain (11/2 at bet365)
