Latest team news for Gibraltar vs Croatia
Gibraltar goalkeeper Bradley Banda will likely be protected by a defense consisting of Kian Ronan, Bernardo Lopes, Louie Annesley, and Ethan Britto.
Coach Ribas used a three-midfielder formation in the previous match, so it's highly likely he will continue to choose Tjay De Barr, Daniel Bent, and James Scanlon in midfield.
On the opposite side, Croatia still has the services of veteran Luka Modric, who can partner with Mateo Kovacic in midfield.
Up front, Ivan Perisic, Martin Baturina, and Andrej Kramaric are strong contenders to support striker Ante Budimir.
In defense, the central defensive duo of Josip Sutalo and Duje Caleta-Car will most likely play between the two full-backs Josip Stanisic and Josko Gvardiol.

Latest football match prediction: Gibraltar vs Croatia
The home team's defeat against the Czech Republic was not surprising, as Gibraltar had never qualified for a major tournament. However, they will still be disappointed having only managed one shot on goal throughout the entire match.
In fact, Gibraltar have only had two shots on target in their two group stage matches and have only scored three goals in their last five games.
Coach Julio Ribas's team has conceded nine goals in their last five matches, and their goal difference of -7 is currently the worst in the group.
Despite losing their last two matches, it's worth noting that Gibraltar were unbeaten in their seven previous games, including five draws.
This team has a fairly good home record, winning two, drawing three and losing only one of their last six matches at Estadio Do Algarve.
Meanwhile, Croatia's most recent match was the second leg of the Nations League quarter-finals against France. They lost 0-2, squandering their 2-0 first-leg advantage, and were subsequently eliminated on penalties with a 4-5 defeat.
That defeat marked Croatia's fourth loss in their last five matches, with two defeats and only one victory.
The Blazers conceded seven goals in these five games, while only scoring six.
Coach Zlatko Dalic is expected to help his team qualify for the World Cup, especially considering Croatia finished third at the 2022 World Cup and runners-up in 2018.
However, the away team has also failed to win in their last five away matches, including three defeats, two draws, and only one victory.
