The C.Republic will be hoping to get their 1st UEFA Euro 2016 points on the blackboard when they take on temporary Group D leaders Croatia in Saint-Étienne on Friday. P.Vrba's men turned in a performance of fascinating defensive iron discipline against the defending champions Spain in their tourney opener, however,conceded a last-gasp goal to G.Piqué, ensuring all of their hard work was for nothing.

They will be hoping for more luck rivalry Croatia, however,their supporters are improbable to hold out too much hope.

Croatia national team looked one of the more fascinating sides we've seen so far in their 1st game against Turkey, and though they relied on a wondergoal from L.Modrić to seal all 3 points, the winning margin could have been much greater at the final whistle. They absolutely head into this game as favorites.

These teams haven't faced each other in more than 5 years, with their last war coming in a intimate in Croatia back in 2011. On that opportunity the hosts ran out four-two winners, though much has changed on both teams since.
