Preview
Scotland lock horns with Croatia in their last Group D match of the Euro 2020 at home as they aim to seek a qualification berth for the next round.
England and Czech Republic have already sealed their spots in the Round of 16. Hence, Scotland will need only a win to keep their hopes alive to join them.
They picked up an impressive point in the 0-0 draw vs England and would take heart from the fact that they were the better side over the 90 minutes.
Croatia, on the other hand have been a shadow of themselves and have searched for answers throughout.
Poor performances against England subjected them to a 1-0 loss which was followed by a 1-1 draw against Czech Republic.
Schick broke the deadlock but his goal was cancelled by Perisic as the 2018 WC Runners-up secured a point.
Both sides have earned a point each from their matches.
A victory is all there is to achieve for the Scots and Croatians which gives them a chance of qualification.
Hampden Park will be pushing all their support for the home side and Croatia need to get their act together to get the result they desire.
