Croatia and England continue their 2026–27 UEFA Nations League campaign by dueling on Saturday.
The Three Lions visit Rijeka having collected three points from their opening two fixtures in Group 3 of League A. Their entertaining 3–2 defeat to world champion Spain was followed by a straightforward victory over 10-man Czechia on Tuesday.
Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane have been England’s goalscorers in both fixtures and Thomas Tuchel might lean on his in-form attacking duo against an awkward Croatia side under the guidance of Slaven Bilić.
Having just began his second stint as national team boss, the 58-year-old started with a hard-fought win over Czechia, only to be brought crashing back down to earth by a 4–1 thrashing against Spain. Mass improvements are needed to stifle England this weekend.
Here’s how to watch the clash unfold live.
