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 sport a +5 goal difference). 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.
Iceland started their World Cup campaign strongly by holding Argentina to a 1-1 stalemate, but lost 2-0 to the Super Eagles . Even if Iceland win their final fixture against Croatia, it may be out of their hands should Argentina better their goal difference with a win against Nigeria.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of Iceland's clash with Croatia as they close out the group stage of the campaign.
