#4 Croatia vs England

Croatia and England fought tooth and nail in their World Cup clash
Croatia and England fought tooth and nail in their World Cup clash

This fixture takes us back by almost three months when Croatia and England battled it out in Russia for a place in the World Cup final. Kevin Trippier gave the Three Lions the lead with an impeccable free-kick, but the Blazers hit back late in the game to send them packing. And as interesting as it was back then, the latest encounter too carries as many expectations.

Both these teams went down to Spain in the Nations League opener last month, especially Croatia, who were battered 6-0 in Elche - their worst defeat in history. So these sides have a point to prove to get themselves back on track.

The World Cup runners-up play hosts this time as Stadion Rujevica will be staging the top billing affair and both Croatia and England would be gunning for maximum points.
