PREDICTION
Both of these sides will be absolutely desperate for three points on Wednesday after they started with defeats. Croatia showed signs of life against Spain and had plenty of glaring chances, most notably the penalty incident which involved a disallowed goal for encroachment as well as a missed penalty which stemmed from what was essentially an open goal. Albania played a direct style of football that did trouble the likes of Alessandro Bastoni and Riccardo Calafiori on Saturday, especially late on as Italy held on to a 2-1 lead after Nedim Bajrami had opened the scoring for the Albanians after just 23 seconds. The Croats are favourites for what should be quite a fiery and entertaining encounter in which both teams scoring would seem a good bet, too.
