World champions Spain visit Croatia this evening in both sides' final match of this extended international break. The game takes place at the Stadion Poljud in Split, with kick-off at 7.45pm BST on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
Spain's winning run
Luis de la Fuente's men have hardly skipped a beat since the summer, taking three wins from three so far in this patch of Nations League fixtures. They have easily dispatched England, Croatia and Czechia by an aggregate score of 10-4.
They will hope for more of the same tonight as they face Croatia for the second time in this international break.
Croatia's heavy defeat
The Vatreni, though, have had a tough time since they last saw La Roja a week ago. England visited Rijeka on Saturday, and, with a crowd comprised largely of schoolchildren watching on, Croatia were subject to the heaviest defeat in their history.
Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, Bukayo Saka and Morgan Rogers all got on the scoresheet on a grim day for Slaven Bilic, later branded a generational trauma by the newspaper Jutarnji List. Bilic, though, was immediately looking to the future after the England game, promising to get the side back on track against Spain.
