The entire Croatian supporters have their hopes pinned on the partnership of Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric and how the duo performs will go a long way I deciding the battle. They started off brightly but some of the spark has dwindled over the past two matches which is a cause of concern for the team. Although they have come up with goods in the shootouts, it is those 90 minutes where they will need to command their authority over the Three Lions which will be of more relevance.

England’s young guns have already achieved so much more than their past grou of underperforming players that they can feel proud of but this group of players has sets it sights on lifting the trophy on the 15th of May and that is driving them on. The Three Lions have Jordan Hnderson and Jamie Vardy fit again which is massive for the team. The form of Raheem Sterling has been a cause of concern right through the campaign in Russia but the Manchester City man has the trust of his gaffer and should start against Croatia. Skipper Harry Kane is leading the chart for Golden Boot and this will be an added incentive for him to perform.

Although, England lead Croatia in the head to head Croatia sure know how to beat England in crucial encounters with their famous win in Wembley over the Three Lions denying them a Euro 2008 berth fresh in the minds of people. The tie is very much what we call an evenly balanced contest with not much separating the teams.
