CROATIA LIKELY XI
Luka Modrić, Marcelo Brozović, Ivan Perišić, and Dejan Lovren are the only starters remaining from that side that lost 4-2 to France in the 2018 World Cup final. The coach who led them, Zlatko Dalić, is still in charge and deploys the same system and style of play. New talent has been integrated with RB Leipzig's Joško Gvardiol, the standout player. The 20-year-old is considered one of the best center-back prospects in Europe. The midfield three of Modrić, Mateo Kovačić, and Brozović can compete with anyone on their day.
