Spain's substitutes changed the game
Lamine Yamal scored inside two minutes against England, but Spain went into half-time 2-1 down. Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal then supplied the goals that secured a 3-2 victory.
Spain's response matters here because the goals did not depend on maintaining an early lead. They recovered after conceding twice and had scoring contributions beyond their starting attack.
Croatia's recent matches favour goals
Croatia followed their World Cup campaign with a 2-1 win in Prague. Their previous five matches included a 2-1 loss to Portugal, 2-1 wins over Ghana and Slovenia, a 4-2 defeat by England and a 1-0 win over Panama.
Five of those six matches produced over 2.5 goals. Croatia scored in all six but kept only one clean sheet, creating a convincing case for another match with contributions at both ends.
Spain can defend better than at Wembley
Spain's World Cup semi-final and final ended in 2-0 and 1-0 wins over France and Argentina. They are capable of reducing a game to very few chances, which is the main counterargument to the total.
Croatia's current sequence takes us towards goals nonetheless. They have continued scoring against strong opposition while conceding regularly, and Spain have just demonstrated several ways of finding the net against England.
Verdict
Take over 2.5 goals @1.46. Croatia's repeated scoring and concessions fit Spain's productive opening performance.
