Both Russia and Croatia have put out attacking teams so it will hopefully be a good match with both teams trying to win and no vodka truck parking by the Russians.
Russia have gone back to 4231 with Cheryshev replacing Zhirkov.
Croatia have dropped Brozovic and replaced him with Kramaric in a switch from 433 to 4231.
I expect the key battle to be down Russia’s left and Croatia’s right. Cheryshev vs Vrsaljko and Rebic vs Kudryashov.
