Croatia Squad and Form Before the Match

• FIFA Ranking: 12th;
• Last five Matches: WWWDW;

Squad Form Description

Croatia overturned an early Alphonso Davies early goal, which was the fastest in the tournament so far, to claim a well-deserved victory against a spirited Canadian side. Andrej Kramaric was ruthless, as his 37th-minute goal restored parity and his second of the match and third for Croatia came in the 70th minute to put the game beyond reach. As if that wasn't enough, substitute Lovro Majer added a fourth in the extra time to ensure that John Herdman's men are officially eliminated and the Croatians can put their disappointing draw against Morocco to pass and look forward to the challenges ahead.

Possible Lineup

( 4 - 3 - 3 ) D. Livakovic, J. Juranovic, D. Lovren, J. Gvardiol, B. Sosa, L. Modric, M. Brozovic, M. Kovacic, A. Kramaric, M. Livaja, I. Perisic.

Belgium Squad and Form Before the Match

• FIFA Ranking: 2nd;
• Last five Matches: WLLWL;

Squad Form Description

Belgium endured a disappointing second-leg encounter as a defeat at the hands of an organized Moroccan side means that their third match against Croatia will have all to be played for. Belgium as expected opted for a free-flowing football and the depth of their squad had the gap and style to prize the Moroccan defense open. The Atlas Lions refused to capitulate, instead, it was Walid Regraguis' men who produced an extraordinary second half to snatch victory through Sabiri and Aboukhlal in the 73rd and 92nd minute respectively.

Possible Lineup

( 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 ) T. Courtois, L. Dendoncker, T. Alderweireld, J. Vertonghen, T. Castagne, Y. Tielemans, A. Witsel, Y. Carrasco, K. De Bruyne, E. Hazard, M. Batshuayi.
