Croatia takes on the visitors Ukraine at "Maksimir" in the round five of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played on Friday, March 24th.
Croatia has one of the strongest squads in Europe, but it is followed by inexplicable and routine failures at major tournaments. “Vatreni” faces the upcoming match with 18-game unbeaten run which started on the 10th of October 2015, not taking into account defeats after extra time and on penalties. Croatia leads the group I recording 10 points and 10-1 goal difference after four matches in the qualification group for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and it is not surprisingly that it seems to be the main contender for the direct qualification to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.

Altogether it got 2:0 triumph vs. Serbia in the friendly match.
Croatia and Ukraine head-to-heads consist of six matches with special history. Whereas Croatia recorded two victories, Ukraine got one win alongside with three draws.
