What’s new with the team?

Neither team suffered known injuries in the second games, so Croatia will likely maintain a similar lineup to the first two matches.

Ivan Perisic played on the wing last time out, with Gvardiol having moved into central defense, but that didn’t particularly help Croatia, who may look to play Perisic further forward. Borna Sosa could replace him at left-back.

Ante Budimir impressed after replacing Petkovic, who missed some decent opportunities. Lovro Majer could be replaced on the wing after a disappointing performance. The midfield is unchanged.

Italy started exactly the same eleven in both matches and although Luciano Spalletti may be considering changes, the drop in quality on his bench could force him to stick with a similar line-up.

Mateo Retegui showed moments of decent play when replacing Scamacca, but he may opt to start Bryan Cristante in this game, having brought him on at half-time in the defeat against Spain. Expect the defense to remain the same.

Predicted lineups

Croatia XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Perisic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Majer, Budimir, Kramaric.

Italy XI: Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori, Dimarco; Frattesi, Jorginho, Barella; Chiesa, Scamacca, Pellegrini.
