France v Croatia (1600 BST, BBC One/ITV)

There’s more than a hint of David and Goliath about the World Cup final as France take on Croatia in Moscow.

Croatia, a relatively newly independent country with a population of just four million, have scraped through three tough rounds of knockout football, going the full 120 minutes in every one and needing penalties to settle two.

They’ve had to come from behind in all three of these games and have had to battle every inch of the way – and all with just 22 players after Nikola Kalinic was sent home following their opening game.

The effort has been herculean, but it’s not been without a huge measure of skill, guile and game management as well – and that’s why at 4/1 to win in 90 minutes and 2/1 to lift the World Cup they’re probably a bit overpriced given their obvious talents.

The huge question is, however, whether they can go to the well one last time and drag out another performance against a well-rested, powerful, pragmatic French team that’s amazingly only been behind for nine minutes in this tournament.

Teams who have won their semi-final in extra time have only won one of the last seven finals they’ve been involved in – that being West Germany at Italia '90 when Argentina also went the distance in their semi - and Croatia have had three lots of overtime to deal with.

Didier Deschamps’ side are odds-on to win a second World Cup for good reason. They’ve kept four clean sheets in six games, stifling the opposition defences and leaning on Kylian Mbappe’s pace and Antoine Griezmann’s finishing to pinch games.

It's not been pretty, but it's not all been 'anti-football' stuff as when they were drawn into a slugfest by Argentina they came out with a thrilling 4-3 victory, so they can obviously go toe-to-toe with anybody when Deschamps lets them off the leash.
