Croatia
Spain
- Joint top scorer Mario Mandzukic went off on a stretcher in the closing stages against Italy but should be fit for the crucial match with Spain.
- After an impressive second half performance, Bilic may be tempted to revert to a 4-2-3-1 that proved so effective against the Italians but is likely stick with a more solid midfield against the Spaniards.
- With no injury concerns of note and after two good results there are unlikely to be any changes to Croatia's starting XI.
- After his brace against Ireland it seems likely that Fernando Torres will keep his place up front, though another goal, this time from the bench, from Cesc Fabregas could also see the Barca-man feature.
- Del Bosque would no doubt like to have sealed a place in the quarter-finals by now, but with the plethora of options available to him, he could still rotate with the likes of Alonso, Torres, Alba and Arbeloa all on a booking.
- The coach has a full squad to choose from after a scan to Sergio Busquets' foot revealed no damage.
