France vs Croatia Team News
After the first leg defeat in Split, Didier Deschamps will be expected to make changes here, particularly to his forward line. Ibrahima Konate was forced off through injury at half-time on Thursday, and will likely be an enforced change, with Dayot Upamecano to come in for the Liverpool defender.
Elsewhere, Bradley Barcola and Eduardo Camavinga could make the starting XI in Paris, at the expense of Randal Kolo Muani and Matteo Guendouzi.
Zlatko Dalic will be delighted with the performance from his side in Thursday's first leg, and it would be a surprise to see many, if any changes here. Expect the in-form Ivan Perisic to continue from the right, having scored and assisted in the first meeting. Atalanta's Mario Pasalic could be a solitary change for the visitors, replacing Martin Baturina in attacking midfield.
