For Croatia, Luka Modric is the undoubted star man. The Real Madrid midfielder is a world-class talent and was instrumental in Croatia’s success in the group stage. He will be looking to continue his good form against Morocco.
Alongside Modric in midfield is Ivan Rakitic, another top quality player who plies his trade for Barcelona. Rakitic is an excellent playmaker and has an eye for goal as well. He will be key for Croatia if they are to progress further in the tournament.
In defence, Dejan Lovren is likely to start at centre-back alongside Domagoj Vida. Lovren is a quality defender who has experience of playing at the highest level with Liverpool. He will need to be at his best to keep out Morocco’s attacking players.
At full-back, Sime Vrsaljko and Ivan Strinic
