England vs Croatia

England host Croatia at Wembley on 12 November second in League A Group 3, nine points from four games and three behind Spain. Thomas Tuchel's side need only avoid defeat to book a quarter-final place. Croatia are third on three points, with a goal difference of minus 10. The last meeting was a 7-0 win for England in Rijeka on 3 October, and a 3-0 win over Czechia followed. Their one group defeat is 3-2 to Spain. Harry Kane had scored in each of his previous five away games for his country before that Rijeka match, and Declan Rice leads the Premier League for assists. England also won 4-2 against these opponents in the World Cup this year. Slaven Bilic's Croatia have lost three of their last four group games, the latest a late 2-1 defeat in Spain. Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic remain the names to watch. Our prediction: 3-0
