Well, the problem is that Croatia's mission will get an obstacle from Armenia. The team, which is now ranked fourth in the group with eight points, has set a target of three points in the opponent's house.
Armenia has ambitions to get rid of Wales in third place in order to fight for the play-offs. Kans is certainly still open to them.
Moreover, Armenia only lost 0-1 when they hosted Croatia in the group's first meeting.
Now, it's just a matter of how Croatia's experience speaks as a finalist for the 2018 World Cup and third place in the 2022 World Cup.
However, Dalic's ingredients that combine experienced players and young ammunition have not been properly tested because inconsistency is still an issue.
Dalic had to answer the last problem when they met Armenia. Their trend was good after beating Latvia 2-0.
He must succeed in bringing Croatia consistent in winning ways if he does not want the issue of inconsistency to resurface.
The combined good performance of defense and kreativias in attack is still a mainstay. Andrej Kramaric and Lovro Majer can be put forward as a serious threat to opponents.
They contribute to statistics of 3.4 golden opportunities per match.
Luka Modric's role will be in the spotlight. His experience of controlling the game will be key.
Modric's presence is expected to undermine the spirit of never giving up the Armenian troops as well as minimize the visitors' chance to counterattack.
As is known, Armenia has an advantage in counter-attacks and effectiveness in set pieces. If Croatia can suppress the opponent's chances then they can reap the tripoin on target.
