Manchester United striker Anthony Martial enjoyed a good season with the club and won a penalty against Sweden. He could start this game.Croatia, on the other hand, are sure to miss Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric and Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic. They have talented replacements in Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic, and much will be expected from the likes of AC Milan forward Ante Rebic as well as Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, who recently won the treble with Bayern Munich. France are likely too strong for a Croatia side missing Modric and Rakitic.Prediction: France 2-0 CroatiaAlso Read: 10 most expensive Chelsea signings of all time
