Top Betting Picks for Spain vs Croatia
- Spain to score first (-334 at bet365): Spain often starts fast; Lamine Yamal scored within the first two minutes in recent matches, including against Wembley and Seville. Croatia has only managed one opening goal in this Nations League season, which came against Czechia, while conceding early goals against stronger teams like Spain and England.
- Spain to score two or more goals (-356 at DraftKings): Spain has netted 10 goals in just three Nations League games, while Croatia's defense appears vulnerable following their heavy loss. A two-goal haul from Spain fits the forecasted 2-0 result.
- Lamine Yamal to score anytime (+110 at FanDuel): Yamal has found the net inside six minutes in three straight games. Despite being substituted at halftime against Czechia for tactical reasons, he remains a key threat against Croatia, who will be looking to build confidence early.
