Denmark coach Age Hareide said his side's World Cup last-16 match against Croatia could boil down to who comes out on top in the midfield battle between Christian Eriksen and Luka Modric.

The Danes failed to set pulses racing in the opening round, featuring in the first goalless draw of the World Cup against France, a result that ensured both sides progressed from Group C.

But Hareide said his team would be more expansive and play differently against the fancied Croats in Nizhny Novgorod on Sunday.

"I think you will see a different Denmark from what you have seen so far and the type of game we have played," said Hareide.

"Yes, we need to defend but we need to attack more."
"It could be a match between Modric and Eriksen, that would be interesting, that would be great for the fans."
