Iceland and Croatia will face off in one of two final Group D fixtures on Tuesday at the Rostov Arena in what will be an entertaining and eventful close to the group stage.
Croatia have already qualified for the last 16 phase following a 3-0 win over Argentina and are set to remain group winners even if they lose to Iceland.They are the only team to have confirmed their qualification for the next round.
All eyes will be on Iceland and their uphill battle, however, as their only chance of progressing to the next phase would be to beat Croatia and maintain a better goal difference than Argentina – who face Nigeria in the other Group D fixture.
