Where can I watch the live stream, TV channel, lineups, and predictions for the international friendly between Portugal and Croatia?

Prior to Euro 2024, Portugal plays a warm-up match against Croatia. As both sides prepare for the competition in Germany, this encounter is essential.

Both Portugal and Croatia have the ability to pull unexpected surprises at Euro 2024, despite not being the clear favourites. Portugal has a perfect record against Croatia, having prevailed 3-2 in their most recent meeting in 2020.

Even though Cristiano Ronaldo might play for Portugal again, the team has talented players who can at least make it to the quarterfinals in Germany.

The international careers of Croatian stalwarts like Domagoj Vida, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić, and Andrej Kramarić are coming to an end. Croatia depends on its veteran players because they don’t have many youthful players. Though there is optimism for the future, there are talents like Luka Sučić and Martin Baturina.
