Croatia vs Senegal
International Friendlies
Date: Friday, 8th June 2018
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Stadion Gradski vrt, Osijek.

Croatia and Senegal will make final tests to each other ahead of the World Cup challenges. The Lions of Teranga will be a copy of Nigeria who are about to take on Croatia in the Group D opener in Russia, while Senegal will kick off their World Cup campaign with the clash against the European opposition (Poland).

The Blades showed two completely opposite faces on Sunday when they took on one of the main contenders for the silverware in Russia. They were more than competitive against Brazil in the first 45 minutes of the match at Wembley, but the second half revealed way too many holes at the back proving how limited this Croatian side can be compared to the world’s heavyweights.
