Croatia vs England Live Streaming: How to Watch UEFA Nations League Match in US, UK and India
Croatia will host England at Stadion HNK Rijeka on Saturday evening in a Nations League encounter that could have a significant impact on the League A group standings. Croatia will be looking to bounce back after Spain brought their unbeaten run under Slaven Bilic to an end.
They opened their campaign with a win over Czechia, but the subsequent 4-1 loss highlighted some familiar defensive weaknesses, particularly when facing strong opposition. However, Bilic can still take encouragement from Croatia’s performances at home. They have gone nine competitive matches without a single loss on their own ground, a record that should provide the team with confidence ahead of this important fixture.
England Aim to Dominate
England, meanwhile, arrive after securing a comfortable win in Prague and will be keen to maintain that momentum against familiar opposition. Thomas Tuchel has made an impressive start as England manager, and the trip to Croatia will provide another opportunity to assess his side’s progress.
England and Thomas Tuchel will be desperate to improve their position in the group after opening their campaign with a defeat to Spain. Although their win over Czechia came under somewhat fortunate circumstances, the manager will be looking for a convincing display against Croatia to silence his critics.
Bilic faces several injury-related setbacks, with Josip Juranovic and Martin Erlic both withdrawing from the squad. Young defender Luka Vuskovic could also get an opportunity to replace Marin Pongracic and partner with Josko Gvardiol in central defense.
Ivan Perisic impressed in the previous match and is likely to retain his place at left-back, while Josip Stanisic is expected to operate on the opposite flank. Mateo Kovacic and veteran Luka Modric remain the leading candidates for the central midfield positions, with Petar Sucic likely to continue in the attacking midfield role.
Thomas Tuchel could make a few changes to his starting lineup for this encounter, although Nico O’Reilly will be unavailable after leaving the camp due to injury. Lewis Hall is expected to retain his place at left-back, while Ezri Konsa could return to partner Marc Guehi in central defence.
Tuchel has several tactical decisions to consider, with an attacking approach potentially opening the door for Eberechi Eze to start. The Arsenal playmaker could feature in the attacking midfield position, allowing Jude Bellingham to return to the lineup in a central midfield role.
Elliot Anderson is also expected to feature from the start, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, who impressed against the Czech Republic. England’s attacking trio is unlikely to undergo significant changes, with Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka expected to support captain Harry Kane.
