Euro 2020: Covid-hit Croatia take on powerhouse Spain

Croatia will be without the services of the experienced Ivan Perisic after he tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the crucial round of 16 tie against Spain in Euro 2020. Croatia were almost out of the competition after a poor start to the campaign but fought back to qualify for the knockouts after a 3-1 win over Scotland. Without Perisic, Croatia has a mountain to climb against the 3-time Champions who have a slight edge with 4 wins from 8 games between the two teams. La Roja will be high on confidence after thrashing Slovakia 5-0 in their last group game and will be hoping for their striker Alvaro Morata to fire who has just 1 goal from 3 games.
