Following the humiliating start, Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic may think of fielding Josko Gvardiol ahead of Marin Pongracic in defence, with Borna Sosa at left-back.
Further up, Marcelo Brozovic could lose his spot to either Luka Sucic or Mario Pasalic.
Bruno Petkovic's missed penalty on Saturday could see him start on the bench again, while Ivan Perisic is not fully fit to feature from the onset.
