Re: 16. June Group B Poland v Croatia

Poland v Croatia - Klagenfurt

The night's other Group B encounter is a tough one to weigh up for punters.

Refreshing Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has kept everything up front and said that none of his players on a yellow card will play in this game after they wrapped up top spot - while he is also likely to rest a number of other key performers.

So no Luka Modric, Robert Kovac, Josip Simunic or Darijo Srna among others.

It is now a question of whether Poland are good enough to take advantage of their depleted opponents as it is a must-win scenario.

They certainly had their moments against Germany in the first game of their campaign but then had goalkeeper Artur Boruc to thank for keeping them in the competition in last week's 1-1 draw with Austria.

Even coach Leo Beenhakker has given up the ghost now in terms of progress and although I wouldn't risk a wager, it would be no surprise to see the confident Croats take maximum points.

Verdict: Poland 0 Croatia 1
