Croatia are still fighting for second place
Croatia host Portugal tonight in a top-of-the-table showdown in the Nations League.
Portugal already have top spot in League A Group 1, and a quarter-final spot, secured, but their opponents at the Stadion Poljud this evening still need a point to guarantee their own knockout stage berth.
Selacao head coach Roberto Martinez may be tempted to rotate his team somewhat, but one player who has a starting place guaranteed is Cristiano Ronaldo - and that’s no surprise after he scored two goals in a 5-1 thumping of Poland last week.
Croatia will hope Martinez is kind on them after they fell to defeat in Glasgow last time out, which opened the door for Scotland to jump ahead of them should they beat Poland and this result goes their way.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised.
Live stream: Fans can catch the contest live online via the Viaplay International YouTube channel. Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT.
