Croatia
The Croats did not have the best group stages by their standards. While they were dominant against Canada, they only managed to draw against Morocco and Belgium. Their defense has been quite stable and has only leaked two goals so far. Their attacking talents were on display against Canada, but otherwise, their attack hasn’t been at its stellar best. The matter of fatigue also came into play as their Round of 16 game against Japan went to penalties, where they triumphed.
Brazil
One of the favorites to win the World Cup, Brazil has been at its best in this campaign so far. Apart from a loss against Cameroon due to an injury-time goal, they have flexed their muscles with ease in the other games. They topped their group and faced South Korea in the Round of 16. Within 36 minutes, they were four goals up and shut the game out in the first half itself.

Croatia Team News & Tactics
-
- Croatia usually employs itself in a 4-3-3 formation and that gives their side balance through the park.
- The 20-year-old, Josko Gvardiol has been in sublime form for Croatia, and his presence in the heart of the defense, stopping the Brazilian attacks will be key.
- Their midfield trio of Modric-Brozovic-Kovavic will be important against the Selecao to break the lines, and stitch their attack and defense together.
- Borna Sosa was not part of the squad against Japan due to a virus, but he should be back in contention for this game.
- Josip Stamisic had a muscle injury that forced him out of contention for the Japan game and his presence in this game will have to be assessed.
Congratulations! 🙌
You’ve made your country proud.

Brazil Team News & Tactics
- With the attacking talent that the Selecao possess, the 4-2-3-1 is a natural fit for the way they play their game.
- After missing a couple of games due to injury, Neymar Jr. was back in action and also scored a penalty against South Korea. If he gets going, the night will be mighty long for Croatia.
- Alex Sandro missed the games against Cameroon and South Korea owing to a hip injury, and his involvement will need to be assessed.
- Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles have been ruled out of this World Cup due to injuries, and that is a big blow to the Selecao.
- Lucas Paqueta was in midfield in the last game, partnering Casemiro, but we might see Fred come in to stabilize the midfield against a strong Croatia side.
