It is a must-win game for Croatia to succeed in the tournament. They need to perform better and reach their highest levels after losing the first game 3-0 to Spain.
Albania scored the fastest goal ever in the Euro finals, and I think they deserved more from the 2-1 loss against Italy. Just like Croatia, they also need three points from this game as they face Spain in the final match.
If this were the first match in the group, I could imagine a tight and low-scoring game. However, the situation is different now, and I think it will be played at a higher tempo. Both sides will play for three points, which means an open game with higher risk and many chances for both teams.
Croatia has one of the best players in the world to dictate the tempo of the game, and I believe Modrić will play faster with many direct passes. I predict over 2.5 goals at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
