What's the latest news on the two teams?
Denmark are still without midfielder William Kvist after he fractured two ribs against Peru . He had to be stretchered off in the game, and looks set to miss the rest of the World Cup. Lasse Schone will take his place again.
Temper ,anagement will be vital for Croatia because they have eight players, including Rakitic, Brozovic and Mandzukic, one booking away from a one-match ban.
For Denmark, Yussuf Poulsen is back from suspension and expected to start on the right in place of Martin Braithwaite. Zanka, Pione Sisto and Thomas Delaney are all one booking away from suspension.
What are the odds?
-
Denmark: 4/1
-
Croatia: 17/20
-
Draw: 9/4
What's our prediction?
Croatia put in one of the performances of the World Cup against Argentina and look irresistible going forwards. Rakitic and Modric have been fantastic, but Rebic is also one to watch. I think they will be too quick, too clever and too good for Denmark.
