14:00 Kick off time (UK)
Coverage starts at 13:00 on ITV1, Bilic, Petit and Hoddle in the studio.
A decent line up of games today, this one will probably be better than most expect. It produced a cracking game at Euro 2008, with Croatia thinking they'd nicked it on for Turkey to go straight up the other end score and then win on penalties. Expect Croatia will want to get revenge today.
Croatia came 2nd in their qualifying group behind Italy but ahead of Norway and Bulgaria, Perisic was their top goalscorer getting 6 goals. Modric and Rakitic are obviously the stand out players for Croatia and are many peoples dark horses.
Turkey were one of the better 3rd place finishing sides in qualifying so went straight through to the tournament. After a tough start in qualifying they went on a great run, unbeaten for 2 years until England beat them at the Etihad last month. Don't give away a free kick against the Turks, Hakan Calhanoglu is a set piece expert and has racked up a big reputation for them in Germany playing for Leverkusen.
Think i'll go for 2-1 Croatia.
