Croatia vs Spain live stream as one team advances to the Euro 2020 quarterfinals and the other reaches the end of their tournament road.

Both teams got off to slow starts in the group stage, but both scored last-minute victories to advance to the round of 16. Spain, in particular, will face a Croatia team in great form after a 5-0 win over Slovakia.

The single-elimination format may favor the more attack-minded Spain. Perhaps with that in mind, Spain is without striker Gerard Moreno, with Ferran Torres filling in for him.

Croatia has been criticized for relying too heavily on captain and midfielder Luka Modric, but the veteran Real Madrid forward proved he is still capable with a stunning goal to sink Scotland in the final group stage match. Expect Nikola Vlasic and Bruno Petkovic to counter-attack, but FW Ivan Perisic, who tested positive for Covid, will be absent.

The starting lineup is as follows:

Spain (4-3-3): Unai Simon; Azpilicueta, Eric Garcia, Laporte, Gaya; Koke, Busquets, Pedri; Ferran Torres, Morata, Sarabia

Croatia (4-3-3): Livakovic ; Juranovic, Kaleta-Kar, Vida, Gbardiol; Brozovic, Modric, Kovacic; Vlasic, Petkovic, Levic

The match will kick off today (Monday, June 28) at 5 p.m. (12 p.m. EDT / 9 a.m. PST) and can be found in the guide, and can be viewed free of charge from anywhere.
