Croatia possible 11:
Livakovic, Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Kramaric, Petkovic and Perisic
Brazil possible 11:
Becker, Danilo, Silva, Marquinhos, Militao, Casemiro, Paquetá, Vinicus, Neymar, Raphinha and Richarlison
Prediction: Croatia 1-3 Brazil
Brazil has showcased creativity and top-notch football during the World Cup, making them one of the favourites.
Croatia has been good as well but survived much in previous 2 matches vs Belgium and Japan. Japan had the better of Croatia in the contest but for the penalties.
The European team may suffer due to lack of pace in the team while Brazil’s attacking unit could get rolling from the 1st minute. Hence, we see Brazil getting over the line comfortably here.
Players to watch out for: Modric, Perisic, Vinicius and Neymar.
