It’s the rematch for the 2018 World Cup final when Croatia welcomes France to the Stadion Poljud. Both teams are playing in their second match of the United Nations League A having lost their opening round matches at home. Croatia were humbled 3-0 by Austria in what was their first loss in ten matches and will be under extreme pressure to win this match as two home losses will be catastrophic. They have been in great recent form and had an excellent World Cup qualifying campaign, winning their group albeit by finishing just a single point ahead of Russia. Croatia have played France twice before in this competition and have lost on both occasions with their overall record showing they are yet to taste victory against the French in eight attempts. They have only lost one of their last 13 matches within the regulation 90mins across all competitions.

France were shocked 2-1 at home in their opening match by Denmark with the loss even more remarkable considering that France held the lead right until the 68th minute before considering two late goals. France know that they cannot afford another defeat if they are to win their group. Prior to the defeat to Denmark they had won their previous eight matches across all competitions. France had a highly successful World Cup campaign where they went unbeaten in eight games to comfortably win their group. They have a superb away record and are unbeaten in their last 13 matches with 10 wins and three draws.
