Ranked 13th in the global FIFA standings, Croatia boasts extremely rich experience in top international tournaments.

The standout fixture in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday comes from Stadion HNK Rijeka, where Croatia will be playing host to England in Group A4. After a solid 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic in their opening match of the Nations League, Croatia were blown away in Seville on Tuesday night, losing 4-1 to the reigning European and world champions. Vatreni only managed 36% possession and 0.47 xG in that defeat to Spain. They have now won five and lost five of their last 10 matches, which included a 4-2 defeat to England at the 2026 World Cup. However, the Checkered Ones have a good home record, with 10 wins posted in their last 14 matches on home soil across all competitions (D3 L1).
