Canada vs Croatia team news

Predicted Croatia starting XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic.

As for Canada, they came through their first match with Belgium without picking up any injuries or suspensions so have a full complement to choose from once again. After their impressive showing against the Belgians, it could be an unchanged starting XI that takes to the field.

Predicted Canada starting XI: Borjan; Laryea, Johnston, Vitoria, Miller, Davies; Buchanan, Hutchinson, Eustaquio, Larin; David.

Group F table and who needs what

Ahead of Croatia vs Canada, as well as Belgium vs Morocco which also takes place on Sunday, here is how the Group F table looks:

1. Belgium - Points = 3, GD = 1
2. Croatia - Points = 1, GD = 0
3. Morocco - Points = 1, GD = 0
4. Canada - Points = 0, GD = -1

At this early stage it is still all to play for but a win for Belgium would guarantee their place in the knockout stages as no combination of results in the other matches would be enough for them to not finish first or second.
