Group B of UEFA Euro 2024 promises to be one of the most competitive groups in the tournament, featuring three former European champions in Spain, Italy, and Croatia. Along with Albania, this quartet of teams will battle across three different host cities in Germany for the top two spots in the group to advance to the knockout round.
Spain Kicks Off Against Croatia in Berlin The action gets underway on June 15 at the iconic Olympiastadion in Berlin, where Spain takes on Croatia in a clash between the 2012 Euro winners and the 2018 World Cup finalists. This promises to be a tight contest between two talented squads packed with superstars. Later that evening, four-time World Cup winners Italy meet Albania over in Dortmund.
Albania Underdogs Against European Heavyweights Along with Norway in Group A, Albania will be hoping to pull off some surprises as one of the underdogs in Euro 2024. However, with three powerhouse opponents in Italy, Spain and Croatia, it will be a very difficult task to advance from this group. When Albania meets Croatia on June 19 in Hamburg, it will likely be a must-win contest.
