Today's clash at Volksparkstadion already looks like a battle for third place in Group B, which could be good enough for a spot in the Euro 2024 knockouts. If Albania impressed in their opening fixture, the opposite is true of Croatia, who are asking a lot – perhaps too much – of their 38-year-old skipper Luka Modric on his swansong.
Croatia's midfield, for so long the beating heart of the team, looked painfully pedestrian in the 3-0 defeat to Spain, a scoreline that could have been much worse. Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic dominated possession but created little of note for their front three, and out of possession they were bypassed with ease.
While Albania are unlikely to see much of the ball, if they're able to thrust with any amount of speed they could get something out of this. On the few occasions that they had the courage to fly forward, they caused Italy's backline all sorts of bother.
With 23 seconds on the clock, Nedim Bajrami wrote his name in Euros lore with the fastest goal in tournament history, and Rey Manaj came within a whisker of rescuing a point at the death. Will Sylvinho release the handbrake?
Perhaps feeling the strain, Zlatko Dalic expressed his anger at the reaction to his team's opening game defeat in his press conference yesterday, fuming at Croatia's "dark horse" tag and insisting that they should be considered one of the tournament favourites.
Croatia team: Livakovic, Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardio, Perisic, Modric (c), Brozovic, Kovacic, Majer, Petkovic, Kramaric
Albania team: Strakosha, Mitaj, Ajeti, Djimsiti (c), Hysaj, Laci, Ramadani, Asllani, Bejrami, Manaj, Asani

Coverage of the 2024 Euros is split between FOX and FS1 in the US. There are also 6 group stage games that are exclusive to Fubo Sports Network and Vix.
FSN is a free stream. You can watch directly on the Fubo Sports Network site or pick up the channel through Roku, Tubi, Samsung TV Plus or Plex.
If you're looking to pick up FOX or FS1, and you don't have cable, then a cable-replacement service will give you instant access. The ones we like best are Sling and Fubo.

Sling Blue carries FOX and FS1 in most regions but not all, so do check. Sling Blue starts at $45 in areas where FOX is available but your first month is half-price, and you can cancel your subscription at any time, i.e. right after Euro 2024, if that's all you want.
Watch Euro 2024 without cable: Fubo 7-day free trial:
Fubo is pricier but gives you more. The Pro Plan carries FOX and FS1 and costs $79 per month but you do get a free 7-day trial of Fubo to enjoy first. You get many more channels than you would with Sling and, again, you can cancel your subscription at any time.
