"The Croatia match is crucial – looking at the table a win is very important for us to keep moving in the right direction," Maggio was quoted as saying on the official Uefa website.
"We know we are up against a very solid team. We have watched some clips and they are a team who can cause problems at any time, especially up front.
"However, I'm convinced that if we play like we did against Spain, they'll be in trouble."
The encounter between Italy and Croatia kicks off at 18:00CET.
