The Italians currently sit second in the group after it surprised many with their impressive performance in a 1-1 draw with world champions Spain on Sunday. Thursday's Group C tie could prove to be a crucial clash for both sides as Croatia try to extend their lead to finish at the top of the group and Italy attempt to edge closer to qualification with a victory.
However, failure to beat Croatia means that Italy must beat beat Ireland in their final game in Poznan and hoping the result between Spain and Croatia does not cost them.
In the last six matches, Italy has 2W-3L-1D, while Croatia has 3W-1L-2D.
Who is favourite Thursday? Well many place Croatia as favourites as statistically the Italians have a poor record against the Croats, losing three games and earning two draws since 1991.
Possible opposing teams:
Italy: Buffon; Chiellini, De Rossi, Bonucci; Ciaccherni, Marchisio, Pirlo, Thiago Motta, Maggio; Di Natale, Cassano
Croatia: Pletikosa; Strinic, Schildenfeld, Corluka, Rakitic; Vukojevic, Modric, Srna, Perisic; Mandzukic, Jelavic
The match is scheduled for Thursday, 14 June 2012 at 09:00 PM PST at Municipal Stadium Poznan
