Reporter's view

Alex Clementson, match reporter: Bruised after Croatia's commanding performance in the first-leg, France will be fully motivated to right their perceived wrongs at the Stade de France. A much-improved second-half performance in Split provides seeds of optimism, and will duly serve as the blueprint for how Les Bleus can overturn this two-goal deficit. As for Luka Modrić and friends, they will look to build on the impetus of Thursday's showing and seal their place in the Final Four of the Nations League.

What the coaches say

Didier Deschamps, France coach: "From the game preparation to matchday in the locker room, I saw a committed and highly motivated group [in the first leg]. This didn't translate on the pitch. But all international periods can become complicated. There will be changes on Sunday, but not necessarily in the positions you expect."

Zlatko Dalić, Croatia coach: "We start the match with a 2-0 advantage, but we can't act like that. We'll act as if it's 0-0, and we can't simply defend for the whole encounter. We know France will be very aggressive, they'll try to score as soon as possible, but we're ready. We'll fight to get a good result."
