Latest information on the Croatia vs Czech Republic squad.
Croatia secured an impressive 7-0 victory in a completely dominant performance against Gibraltar last week, and many of the players who started that match are likely to feature again.
Luka Modric started that win from the bench, but the veteran midfielder is likely to start, partnering Lovro Majer in central midfield, while Mario Pasalic will play further forward.
Ante Budimir – who has scored 24 goals in 42 games for Osasuna this season – continued his scoring form against Gibraltar and will be the first-choice striker on Monday.
For the Czech Republic, Patrik Schick has scored 4 goals in the last 3 qualifying matches and is certain to start against Croatia.
Adam Hlozek's participation is uncertain after he left the pitch with injury after just 28 minutes in last week's 2-0 win against Montenegro. Lukas Provod could be his replacement.

Latest football match prediction: Croatia vs Czech Republic
Croatia officially joined UEFA in June 1993, three months after the 1994 World Cup qualifiers began, meaning they were unable to participate in the tournament.
This led to Croatia's first qualifying campaign being at EURO 1996, where they reached the quarter-finals. Since then, Croatia has qualified for 14 of the last 16 major tournaments.
Under the guidance of coach Zlatko Dalic since October 2017, Croatia has achieved many successes, including a runner-up finish at the 2018 World Cup and third place at the 2022 World Cup.
Having established themselves as one of Europe's football powerhouses, Croatia is considered the top contender for first place in Group L, and a victory against the strongest opponent in the group on Monday would significantly bolster those prospects.
Croatia began their qualifying campaign with a dominant 7-0 victory over Gibraltar, boosting their confidence ahead of their match against the Czech Republic. They are also unbeaten in their last three encounters with this opponent (two draws, one win).
However, the away team is in better form going into the match, with an unbeaten streak of 8 games (6 wins, 2 draws), while Croatia has won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 in their last 6 matches.
Three of the Czech Republic's recent victories came from this qualifying campaign, with Ivan Hasek's team defeating Faroe Islands (2-1), Gibraltar (4-0) and Montenegro (2-0) respectively.
This result puts the Czech Republic at the top of Group L with 9 points, opening up the opportunity to participate in the World Cup for the first time since the group stage in 2006.
Despite often struggling in World Cup qualifiers, the Czech Republic has consistently participated in the European Championships since gaining independence and making its debut in 1996. They will be hoping to replicate that success in their remaining five matches in Group L to secure a place in the upcoming World Cup.
