Croatia was the team to watch in the previous World Cup, in Russia. Luka Modric led his team to the Final, leading an impressive roster. A roster that also included Mandzukic, Rakitic, Perisic, Kramaric, Kovacic, and Kalinic. A true Dream Team that brought Croatian football one win away from the biggest title in World Football. Four years later, the Croatia team is based on the very same core. A team that is ageing, but still has a certain quality. And then you have Morocco. A hard-fighting group that shouldn’t be overlooked. Underestimate them and they will cause problems.

Croatia has loads of quality, especially when it comes to midfield. Luka Modric will have Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic next to him.
Stanisic will likely get the nod to start at right-back. The biggest decision Dalic will have to make regards the position of the centre-forward. Bruno Petkovic and Andrej Kramaric have equal chances to feature in the Starting XI.
