Vs

Croatia head coach Niko Kovac could recall Mateo Kovacic in place of Brazil-born midfielder Sammir, one of the few players who failed to impress in the 4-0 win over Cameroon.

The team is likely to be otherwise unchanged for a game that Croatia will probably need to win to qualify.

Mexico boss Miguel Herrera has suggested he will go with the same line-up for the third game in a row.

Hector Moreno, Jose Vazquez and Paul Aguilar are one booking from a ban.
