Both of these clubs come into Thursday’s match tied with 3 points apiece, as a result of identical 1-0-0 Euro 2008 records. Not only is Germany one of the frontrunner to win this year’s Euro 2008 Cup, but they are also favorites by a significant margin in their Thursday morning group B fixture.

Taking on a very tough opponent in Germany, here are some possible roster moves Croatian coach, Slaven Bilic, might be contemplating: to play a deeper role behind Ivica Olic, Bilic might ask Ivan Rakitik to replace striker Mladen Petric for Thursday’s fixture.

For the Germans, it looks like they will opt to go with the same starting lineup that defeated Poland 2-0. "Not many changes will happen but one or two players may be new," coach Joachim Loew said. Anchoring the attack for the Germans will be captain Michael Ballack and striker Lucas Podolski on the left flank.

In their past meetings, Germany has completely dominated the Croatians. In seven fixtures, Germany holds a huge edge over their group B opponents, with an overpowering 5-1-1 overall mark.
