Midfielder Adrien Rabiot is likely out with a calf injury. Ibrahima Konaté is fit but may be benched after a poor first leg; Upamecano is expected to start alongside Saliba. Mbappé is fully fit and will lead the attack, supported by Dembélé and possibly Michael Olise or Bradley Barcola as Deschamps looks to boost creativity. France may shift to a more attacking 4-2-3-1. Giroud and Griezmann are absent due to retirement, but overall the squad is strong.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez; Tchouaméni, Camavinga; Dembélé, Olise, Mbappé; Kolo Muani.
No new injuries. Perišić impressed in the first leg and is fit to start again. Modrić and Kovačić anchor the midfield. Only absentee is Luka Sučić. Coach Dalić is expected to keep the same XI in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Budimir will lead the line, supported by Kramarić and Baturina, with Perišić wide. Croatia’s defense was solid in Split and will remain unchanged.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Livaković; Stanišić, Šutalo, Ćaleta-Car, Gvardiol; Modrić, Kovačić; Perišić, Baturina, Kramarić; Budimir.
