Croatia take on Canada today with both nations seeking their first goal of this World Cup campaign.

Luka Modric and company were snuffed out by Morocco in an opening 0-0 draw that will not live long in the memory. But the 2018 finalists will still fancy their chances of progressing through Group F to the last 16.

Canada proved, albeit in a 1-0 defeat to Belgium, that they are a force to be reckoned with. Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies is their talisman and, despite missing a penalty in that reverse against Roberto Martinez’s side, will be eyeing an upset against Croatia.

The likes of Jonathan David and Tejan Buchanan are also star turns for John Herdman’s troops, which makes this clash a mouthwatering prospect.

Here’s all you need to know about the match...

Croatia vs Canada prediction

All the sense here is to back Croatia, as seasoned World Cup veterans and finalists of four years ago, against a side that has never scored a goal in the competition – and is making their first appearance since 1986.

Yet the two teams’ respective performances in their opening matches suggests Canada can get a result here. We’re backing Canada to not only break that World Cup goalscoring duck, but take points off Croatia in the process.

An entertaining 2-2 draw.
