Croatia predicted XI v France: Zlatko Dalic to name unchanged side | OneFootball

Croatia head to the Stade de France with a 2-0 lead to protect as they seek to secure their progression in the UEFA Nations League at France’s expense. Having impressed in the first leg, logically, Zlatko Dalic is not expected to make any changes as the Balkan side look to seal their place in the semi-finals.

Croatia were 2-0 up by half-time in Split on Thursday thanks to goals from Ante Budimir and Ivan Perisić. Both will retain their places in the side. Mateo Kovacic and Luka Modric will play in the holding midfield positions, Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol will continue at left-back and Olympique Lyonnais’ Duje Caleta-Car will once again partner Josip Sutalo at the heart of the defence in Paris tonight.
