And the Italian insisted he would not be setting out to try and play for a share of the spoils, instead putting the emphasis on collecting three points against Slaven Bilic's side.

Capello conceded he did not enjoy the 2-0 win over Andorra and said: "Wednesday will be a difficult game but more exciting. I prefer the difficult games. Saturday against Andorra was a very dangerous game but I like the bigger challenges."

Capello added: "It was not easy to find the space against Andorra because they had nine players always near their penalty box. It was impossible to find the space and they were just running down the clock.

"Croatia are playing at home and they have to play forward. They have to try and score goals. They will be strong and the level of the quality of the players will be better and more dangerous.

"I followed Croatia a lot in the European Championships. They are a good team and, when they play at home, the fans help the players a lot. Their fans are very strong in terms of emotion and passion.

"But we are good enough to get a result and I have confidence in my team."
