Before locking in your Croatia vs. Spain picks or 2023 UEFA Nations League bets, you need to see the Nations League 2023 predictions from proven soccer expert Martin Green.

Since last year's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.78 units), FA Cup (+3.07) and EFL Cup (+3.64) and Euro Qualifying (+1.28).
Green knows Spain have more talent and depth than their opponents and bring confidence off the victory against Italy. Yeremy Pino gave them the lead just four minutes in, and Joselu scored the winner in the 89th minute. The Spaniards have tons of talent in attack, with Alvaro Morata (30 international goals), Real Madrid's Marco Asensio and Barcelona 20-year-old Ansu Fati among the many dangerous options.
The expert also has taken into account that Croatia have a superior midfield, with Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic all playing at a high level. Croatia's only loss since the start of 2022 (7-5-1) was a 3-0 setback to eventual champion Argentina in the 2022 World Cup semifinals. Andrej Kramaric got his 24th international goal against Italy, and Mario Pasalic, Bruno Petkovic and Modric also scored.
