Stadion Miejski — PoznaƄ
Referee:‬ H. Webb‎
Cesare Prandelli: "(Balotelli) is a guy of 22 years of age, he is on the road to finding maturity. What I ask is for him to play simply. To help the team and to stretch the play behind the opposition defence. When he makes a mistake he must think that there will be other opportunities...and find the conviction to make the right decision next time. The thing to underline is that he won the ball himself (before missing a chance against Spain). When you have two choices it slows you down."(Yahoo)
Italy's key player: Daniele De Rossi. The 28-year-old was impeccable in denying the striker-less Spain opportunities in Gdansk, but once a true forward was on the pitch in Fernando Torres, the midfielder-turned-defender had a couple of lapses. He will need to be able to deal with the threat of a target man more completely on Thursday, whether it be Jelavic, Mandzukic or both.

Croatia's Player to Watch: Luka ModricThe Tottenham playmaker made Giovanni Trapattoni's side pay for giving him too much space on numerous occasions just a few days ago, but his ability to effect the game under more pressure from a five-man opposition midfield will be paramount to his country's success as they look to make it six point from six in Group C.

Italy vs Croatia Euro 2012 Prediction
Croatia were given too much room in midfield against Ireland, and thus found it very easy to dictate play and come away with a straight-forward victory. The same thing is unlikely to occur against an improving Italy side despite their positive record against the Azzurri in the past and Prandelli's side should be able to come away with three points if they take their chances in Poznan.(Goal.com)
