📝 Detailed Analysis

The model favours Spain with an estimated 69% win probability, based on market odds, a Poisson xG model (0.00-17.14 goals) and API-Football's statistical model. Not every signal agrees here — API-Football's model leans toward a draw, while the blended pick still favours Spain, so treat this one with extra caution.

Croatia have won 2, drawn 0 and lost 2 of their last 4 at home (scoring 4, conceding 11), while Spain have won 4, drawn 0 and lost 0 of their last 4 away from home (scoring 7, conceding 2).
