Croatia topped their UEFA qualifying group with 22 points and enters this match following a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Montenegro. Los Cafeteros have not lost in over a year, while Croatia have won seven of their last eight encounters, so this is a clash of in-form teams. Look out for veteran opposing skippers Rodriguez and Luka Modric, both formerly of Real Madrid. Modric will win his 195th cap, while Minnesota United playmaker Rodriguez is in line to win his 123rd.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
