Croatia wants to put an end to doubts against Canada

The world runner-up seeks her first win in Qatar against an American team that could be eliminated

MADRID, 26 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Croatian team, current runner-up in the world, seeks this Sunday against Canada (5:00 p.m. / World Goal and Movistar) to put an end to doubts about its debut to bring closer its chances of advancing to the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar, in a duel in the one that the Americans hope to make up for their loss against Belgium.

The Croatian team, which did not go beyond a draw on the first matchday of Group F against Morocco (0-0), needs to improve on a second matchday through which a large part of their chances of advancing to the Asian World Cup qualifiers pass.

Against the Africans, there was a lack of depth and, above all, danger -barely two shots on goal in the entire match-, and Zlatko Dalic will have to look for solutions on his bench. In addition, the inconvenience of Nikola Vlasic, who withdrew injured from the first game, will offer an opportunity to Marko Livaja, who could start.

With the madridista Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic untouchable in the midfield, the rest of the eleven, except for Vlasic's hole, will also repeat in a duel that the Croats are looking forward to after the declarations of the rival coach, John Herdman.

"We are going to fuck Croatia," said the coach of the North American team forcefully after losing to Belgium in the debut (1-0), words that have not gone down well in the environment of the current world runners-up.

All after a decent game for Canada, punished by a goal from Michy Batshuayi and by a sublime Thibaut Courtois, who saved a penalty from Bayern Munich midfielder Alphonso Davies.

In its second World Cup after Mexico'86, the country continues to search for its first goal and its first victory in a World Cup. However, a defeat this Sunday, coupled with a victory for Belgium against Morocco, would leave him mathematically eliminated.

CROATIA: Livakovic; Sosa, Guardiol, Lovren, Juranovic; Brozovic, Kovacic, Modric; Perisic, Kramaric and Livaja.

CANADA: Borjan; Miller, Victoria, Johnston; Laryea, Eustace, Buchanan, Davies, Hutchinson; Hoilett and Jonathan David.

--REFEREE: Andrew Matonte (URU).

--STADIUM: Khalifa International.

--TIME: 5:00 p.m./Gol Mundial and Movistar.
