Preview: France vs Croatia

France come into this game having secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over a stubborn Swedish side thanks to a goal from PSG starlet Kylian Mbappe. Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann was unlucky to have a goal discounted that would have doubled their lead near the end of the match, and although Didier Deschamps's men were far from their best, they still picked up three valuable points to ensure they head into their contest against Croatia feeling confident of their chances at securing another win. Portugal are France's biggest opponents in this quartet, and beat Croatia 4-1 so currently are top of the group based on goal difference - and also will be facing Sweden on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Croatia will be desperate to get back to winning ways after a humiliating loss in their opening match. It's been a downward spiral for the Vatreni, who have struggled since shocking the world with their impressive run at the 2018 World Cup and finishing as runners-up. They performed poorly in their inaugural Nations League campaign, and finished bottom of their group. That being said, they did do solidly in their EURO 2020 (now EURO 2021) qualifiers, benefiting from a fairly comfortable group and finished top of their group to book their ticket to next year's competition.

However, they were no match for a Portugal side that outplayed and outclassed them in their most recent tie, and they're missing some key players in the middle of the park. The last time they played France was at the 2018 World Cup and they were swept aside 4-2, so they'll be hoping to somehow redeem themselves when the two sides clash in Paris on Tuesday - which will be easier said than done considering they've failed to win their last six meetings with Les Bleus.

Team news: France vs Croatia

France: The hosts, who are already missing Paul Pogba after the Manchester United star tested positive for COVID-19, have now been dealt another huge blow with Kylian Mbappe also testing positive. Tanguy Ndombele has also been ruled out due to illness from the same condition.

Croatia: Both Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic are not part of the team, which will really put the Vatreni at a huge disadvantage for this match.
