At the Parken stadium on Monday, Croatia will take on Spain with a place in the quarterfinal up for grabs. In the group stages, the two teams started slowly but picked up the pace as time went on.
Spain ended the group stages with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Slovakia whilst Croatia beat Scotland by three goals to one.
Both sides have immense individual quality and fans will hope all that quality comes to light.
Game set to go into extra time
Spain started the tournament slowly but kicked things into gear in the gear at the end of the group stages and are expected to cause a few problems for Croatia.
But, the Checkered Ones have some stars of their own who can cause problems for any team. Luka Modric proved his quality despite his advanced age against Scotland and is expected to do so again.
The game will be tight and extra time is expected to be the end result.
