The tactical read
Croatia typically set up in 4-2-3-1 and make their first change around minute 54 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 4 matches, the same shape held up in 3 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' away at Portugal; the longest wait stretched to 66' at home to Ghana.
It's been a level stretch results-wise (2-0-2 across 4 matches) - no hot streak or slump to read into, so the numbers above are a fair baseline.
