The previous head-to-head confrontation between the teams took place at the above-mentioned Euro, and then the current hosts were quicker (12:7).

Croatia shows a great game at the second tournament in a row, time after time confirming the presence of maximum ambitions. The current competition has been conquered by the team twice (in 2007 and 2017). Although now it is not the main contender for the final championship. In the group stage "draughtsmen" suffered another painful defeat from the Spaniards (6:10), experiencing enormous problems up front (23 shots and 3 realized numerical advantages out of 7).

In the XXI century, the squad has not won any medals, but the prospect of failure at this summer's home Olympics forced to make significant progress in terms of game plan. The previous night, the Tricolor sensationally knocked the Hungarians out of the title race (11:10), going into the match as multiple underdogs (average odds for a win are 11). Hugo Fontani made as many as 13 saves, playing as organized as possible in the most crucial moments.
