Group B of the Euro 2008 championships kicks off with host nation taking on highly fancied Croatia in the third match up of the Euro championships. Both these sides are placed in a relatively easy group and a victory for either side will see them take a big step towards qualification towards the quarterfinals of Europe’s premier national club competition. The Euro 2008 live TV feeds for this clash starts at 15:00 GMT 8^th June 2008.

Austria come into this clash on the back of a five star friendly performance against lowly Malta. Playing in their home turf, the Austrians were on the offence from the start and their 5-1 victory will do their confidence a world of good coming into this clash. With the likes of Germany, Poland and Croatia in Group B, Austria can back themselves to at least secure the second post to ensure further qualification. However, Austria have been pegged back by the unfortunate injury to goalkeeper Payer who has been diagnosed with liver complaints and will be out of action for the next two months. With a strong home crowd rooting for victory, expect Austria to come flying out the blocks in their clash against Croatia.

Croatia on the other hand finished their Euro 2008 qualification campaign on a strong note defeating England away from home to finish top of their group. Despite the absence of star striker Eduardo to injury, the Croatian outfit will not be short of options up front and will know that a victory here could tip the group B Euro 2008 table in their favour. Croatia come into this clash on the back of a frustrating 1-1 draw against Hungary in their last friendly encounter in which they were pegged back for large periods of the match. With a host of star players plying their trade in the English premier League and the Italian Seria A expect the likes of Dario Simic and Ivica Olic to torment the Austrian defence throughout. The main key for Croatia undoubtedly would be star midfielder Luka Modric. The Tottenham midfielder has been in inspired form all throughout the qualification rounds and his passing and long range shots will hold the key to Croatia’s success against a strong Austrian outfit this coming Sunday.
