Getting their 2026 World Cup adventure underway on Wednesday night, all eyes will fall on Arlington when England meet Croatia.
With a huge amount of expectation on their shoulders in midweek, the Three Lions will be desperate to lay down an early marker as they set off on another charge to get their hands on a first piece of international silverware since way back in 1966.
While Croatia might have arrived in North America with one of this summer’s oldest squads, the Blazers enjoyed a sensational qualifying campaign last year and they certainly have a huge amount of experience in their travelling squad.
In what could prove to be a nail-biting affair from Arlington on Wednesday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive England vs Croatia Bet Builder Tips.
All eyes on England
Suffering even more major tournament heartbreak over in Germany two years ago, that 2-1 defeat against Spain was the final act of the Gareth Southgate reign.
Now under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, the Three Lions have a huge amount of expectation on their shoulders this summer and many have billed the European giants as a standout contender.
Remarkably still waiting to get their hands on a first piece of silverware since their iconic World Cup success way back in 1966, the former Chelsea boss has made his expectations abundantly clear.
Signing off their pre-tournament preparations with a much-welcomed flurry as they secured a thumping 3-0 victory against Costa Rica, England will be dreaming of a repeat performance in Arlington.
Getting their European Championship adventure underway with a 1-0 victory against Croatia back in the summer of 2021, Tuchel’s camp will be hoping to lay down a real marker on Wednesday night.

The record-breaking Kane
If England are to finally get their hands on a first piece of international silverware in six decades, then their talismanic skipper will have more than a leading role to play in North America this summer.
While there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows three years ago as Harry Kane completed a blockbuster move to German giants Bayern Munich, the ex-Tottenham superstar has enjoyed an astonishing time at the Allianz.
Helping Vincent Kompany’s side successfully defend their Bundesliga crown at a canter last month, Kane is widely regarded as a standout Ballon d’Or candidate this year.
Set to lead out the Three Lions on Wednesday night and the fearsome leader in England’s attack, Kane remarkably notched 58 goals in all competitions for Bayern.
At his clinical best and only further underlining his status as world football’s ultimate marksmen, the 32-year-old will be looking to claim another major tournament Golden Boot this summer.

Croatia’s experience shouldn’t be overlooked
While Croatia might arrive in North London with one of the oldest squads at this summer’s tournament, Zlatko Dalic’s camp have a wealth of experience and have their sights set on springing another almighty upset on the world stage.
Embarking on a sensational qualifying romp last year as they mustered 22 points from their eight appearances, the Blazers have not suffered a competitive defeat within 90 minutes since back in November 2024.
However, despite signing off their pre-tournament preparations with a 2-1 victory at home against Slovenia, Croatia will be searching for some defensive grit.
Including a 3-1 defeat at the hands of South American icons Brazil on April 1st, the former World Cup finalists have failed to record a clean sheet from their previous six appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, hit with that 1-0 loss when they last met the Three Lions back in the summer of 2021, Dalic’s men will be bracing themselves for a stern examination in Arlington.
