Kylian Mbappe vs Josip Pivaric
All know that France's greatest destructive power lies on the right wing where Mbappe appears. If Croatia is still Ivan Strinic - a player with excellent defensive skills, fans can expect a fierce confrontation with Mbappe. Strinic, however, suffered injury in the semi-final against England and left the possibility of a return.

Therefore, it is likely that Josip Pivaric will take the place of left-back defender. Pivaric has played four times for a total of 200 minutes at the 2018 World Cup. Three of them came from the bench and that was partly to show Zlatko Dalic's limited confidence. Pivaric is not as comprehensive as Strinic and when faced with a speed player like Mbappe, Croatia fans have the right to worry. If you break the line on the left wing, the defensive system of the caro club will be in jeopardy.



Therefore, Dalic coach will be forced to send people ready to support Pivaric. The confrontation in the area along the right wing in the direction of the French attack will be very hot.

Benjamin Pavard vs Ivan Perisic
Mbappe will be more dangerous when there is always Benjamin Pavard support behind. The 22-year-old defender played very well in the Russian league and was one of the top hopes of the French fans. However, before thinking about joining the attack, Pavard had to do well his defensive role, especially locking Ivan Perisic.



Perisic danger is reflected in the semi-final against England. A goal as well as a tear of Perisic makes the game go in a different direction. The winger of the Inter team owns speed, technique, strength and even air superiority. He is not afraid to cut inside and increase pressure on the penalty area.

Sensibility in Perisic's scoring position will also make Pavard unable to take a moment off his eyes. He had to pay the price, Les Bleus certainly do not want to go to the car fall.

N'Golo Kante vs Luka Modric
When there are Kante in the squad, the Fa is like playing with ... 12 people. He is everywhere, using his great power and ability to fight back to regain control of the ball. At the 2018 World Cup, Kante is undoubtedly the best defensive midfielder.

Kante's mission in the final battle is to kill Luka Modric. The other side of the line, Modric with his small and dexterity is not merely an artist. He moved 63km - the most in the World Cup 2018. Modric like Kante, likes to be present at every hot spot and solve it in an artistic way.

The confrontation in the middle of this yard will certainly be extremely interesting. If it is possible to get the ball from Modric, Kante looks like the best midfielder in Russia. On the contrary, Modric will open the door to the penalty area for Croatia.
