Prediction: Croatia 2-1 Russia

Croatia head in with massive confidence after the pummelling of Malta on Thursday and would be keen to continue the good show.

Russia too was at the top of their game in the win against Cyprus. This assures that we can expect a quality contest.

But given Croatia is at home, we see them nicking this but not without the quality of Russia coming to the fore.
