Croatia's loss against Austria saw them racing to three home defeats in a row in the Nations League. Goals from Marko Arnautovic, Michael Gregoritsch and Marcel Sabitzer helped Austria ease past Croatia. Notably, this also saw Zlatko Dalic’s men suffering their first home defeat across competitions since November 2020.
On the other hand, France’s seven-game winning streak across tournaments was broken by Andreas Cornelius’ brace for Denmark that too after Karim Benzema provided the side the lead. Notably, Didier Deschamps missed the game as he had left the camp following the death of his father.
France are the defending champions. They had beaten Spain 2-1 in the final to clinch the UEFA Nations League title. Meanwhile, Croatia were also in the same group last season and had ended at the number three spot, thus missed to advance to the semi-finals.
