Good afternoon
Welcome to Telegraph's Sport live coverage of this Group F clash between Croatia and Canada live from the Khalifa International Stadium with kick-off at 4pm (UK time)
Both sides would have felt they should have won their opening fixture. The 2018 finalists were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Morocco as they struggled to find that clinical edge in a game were chances were premium.
Canada's opening match was their first in a World Cup since 1986, proved to be slightly more entertaining. They performance belied their experience on this stage as their high press and sharp movement suffocated Belgium.
Their opponents conceded a penalty in only the 10th minutes of the game but Canadian star Alphonso Davies had his attempt saved by Thibaut Courtois.
However, their nerve didn't waver and despite having Belgium on the back foot for the majority of the first half, they conceded late in the first half. Their intensity fell during the second half and Belgium were able to hold on for a 1-0 win.
After the match, their manager John Herdman pulled the players into a huddle after the game, where he applauded their performance in rather fruitful language and told them they'd defeat Croatia.
You have to say, Herdman's rallying cry to his players, isn't such a far fetched prospect. Although Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic are brilliant midfield technicians, they may struggle against the pace of this Canadian side.
They overran the Belgium midfield forcing manager Roberto Martinez into bringing on two defensive midfielders at half time.
Luka Modric is key to Croatia's success at this World Cup. He is able to dictate play and was judged to be player of the match for his performance against Morocco.
Will Croatia's experience be enough to overcome a spirited Canadian side?
