Croatia vs Belgium: what matters before kick-off
Croatia's midfield selection decides match control, while Belgium's attacking starters decide whether their player props are playable.
Croatia and Belgium use Rijeka as a final World Cup preparation checkpoint before travelling to North America.
Croatia's best route is control, rest defence and set-piece pressure through experienced midfield and wide delivery.
Belgium's best route is transition speed and final-third quality if their attacking starters are used from the beginning.
This is a friendly between World Cup-level squads, so late substitutions can be more important than pre-match form alone.
