Goal Scorer:
Croatia
The home team will be without the services of Nikola Vlasic, who has had to leave the Croatia camp because of an injury problem. Other than that, Zlatko Dalic has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
They are likely to shape up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Dominik Livakovic in goal. Josip Juranovic and Ivan Perisic will start as the full-backs here, and they will look to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Josip Sutalo will start alongside Josko Gvardiol in the central defensive pairing.
Luka Sucic will start as the defensive midfielder, and he will look to break up opposition attacks. Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic will add creativity and control alongside him. Ante Budimir will lead the line for Croatia vs Italy, with Lovro Majer and Andrej Kramaric on the flanks.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Livakovic; Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Perisic; Modric, Sucic, Kovacic; Majer, Budimir, Kramaric
Italy
Italy do not have any major injury problems heading into this contest, and Luciano Spalletti will be able to field a strong team here. Gianluigi Donnarumma has been excellent in the European Championships, and he will start in the goal once again.
Italy will shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation vs Croatia, with Matteo Darmian, Alessandro Bastoni, Riccardo Calafiori, and Federico Dimarco in the back four. Darmian and Dimarco will keep things compact at the back and help out in the attack as well.
Bryan Cristante and Nicolo Barella will start in the midfield pivot. They will look to add control and creativity to the side from the deep. Lorenzo Pellegrini will start as the attacking midfielder, and he will link the midfield with the attack. He will look to chip in with goals and creativity in the final third as well.
Finally, Gianluca Scamacca will lead the line for Italy vs Croatia, with Federico Chiesa and Mattia Zaccagni on the flanks. They will look to add pace, flair, and creativity from the wide areas.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Darmian, Bastoni, Calafiori, Dimarco; Cristante, Barella; Chiesa, Pellegrini, Zaccagni; Scamacca
Prediction: Croatia 1-2 Italy
