England Vs Croatia Preview
After England beat the Czech Republic last time out, the Three Lions are currently aiming to keep the heat on Spain in Group A3. Thomas Tuchel’s charges beat the Czech’s twice and registered a stunning 7-0 victory over Croatia after an opening day defeat to the 2026 World Champions.
Meanwhile, the Checkered Ones are looking over their shoulders after losing their last three in succession. Their only saving grace so far was the MD1 victory in Prague. Since then, the 2018 World Cup finalists lost twice against La Roja and endured the travesty against Tuchel’s side in Rijeka.
England Vs Croatia H2H Record
Something worth bearing in mind when it comes to England vs Croatia betting is that the Three Lions have won the last four H2H clashes on a bounce by an aggregate score of 14-3. Half of those goals came in last month’s 7-0 drubbing and four came in the 2026 World Cup group stage win.
However, Slaven Bilic’s side have inflicted some of the most damaging results in England’s history. They ended the Three Lions Euro 2008 hopes but doing the double over them in qualifying but the standout result was most certainly the 2018 World Cup semi-final win in Russia.
