Italy went unbeaten in qualifying for Euro 2012 and they often produce their best at major tournaments, with bookmakers pricing them up as one of the leading contenders. They are short priced to qualify from Group C this summer, although Croatia will be looking to take advantage of any slip ups from the Italians, with Spain odds on to top the group.

Past Meetings

It is perhaps something of a surprise that Croatia have had the better of meetings with Italy over the years, winning three of six matches. They haven't lost to the Italians since 1942, going unbeaten in five matches since, and they won the last meeting 2-0 when they played one another in 2007.
