    England
    Matches between Croatia and England have produced several closely contested and dramatic encounters in recent years. However, their most recent World Cup meeting suggested that England had gained the upper hand. England’s superiority was particularly evident in midfield, where Croatia were unable to exert the same control they had enjoyed in previous meetings. Luka Modrić’s advancing years and the absence of his former midfield partner Ivan Rakitić have also changed the balance between the two sides.

      Ranked 13th in the global FIFA standings, Croatia boasts extremely rich experience in high-stakes international tournaments. Their midfield forms the unshakable core of the team, with veteran stars like Luka Modric delivering elite tempo control, orchestrating continuous short passing sequences to pull apart opposition defensive lines with outstanding on-pitch game reading ability. The side builds its entire system around midfield dominance, freely shifting the speed of attack-defense transitions, with highly polished set-piece tactics that give them a distinct upper hand in aerial battles. Their obvious weakness is the squad’s high average age: fitness levels will inevitably decline under prolonged high-intensity confrontation, leaving them short of explosive wide pace, and putting their full-backs under massive pressure when facing opponents’ rapid wide charges. Backed by home crowd support in Rijeka, Croatia will prioritize securing midfield possession first, wear down opponents
