A spot in the FIFA World Cup round of 16 is on the line as Portugal meets Croatia at Toronto Stadium. Portugal drew 0-0 with Colombia in their previous game and will look to score against a strong Croatian team. The sides have faced each other ten times before, with Portugal securing seven wins and Croatia claiming one victory. Portugal’s leading player has yet to score in eight prior World Cup knockout matches and aims to change that record. Portugal has struggled at times, placing responsibility on key midfielders to create chances. Croatia features experienced players who can create difficulties, and Portugal must stay alert to those threats. The match is scheduled for Friday at 4:30 AM IST and will be held at Toronto Stadium. Live coverage in India will air on United8 Sports, with streaming options also available through the same provider.
