The 2018 World Cup runners-up haven’t exactly impressed so far in this tournament but they got the results needed to propel them thus far in the tournament. With just one win in 90 minutes and three draws in their four matches, they only qualified as they beat Japan on penalties. Having said that, Croatia are a tough team to face as they have only lost one match in their last 11 World Cup matches proving once again that they’re a tough nut to crack.

Brazil meanwhile have impressed so far with the team being a favorite to win the tournament. Star player, Neymar will be looking forward to playing this match to possibly level Pele’s record for Brazil’s top goal scorer, a record which stands since 1971. The Brazilian will also be looking forward to facing off his old El Classico rival, Luka Modric from Neymar’s time with Barcelona. The odds are in favor of Brazil due to their impressive performance and with their impressive win over South Korea.

An issue to highlight for Croatia would be an injury to their full-back Josip Stanisic who had to miss out on their win over Japan. Juranoiv filled in for his injured teammate and played very well. Borna Susa was also out, being replaced by Borna Barisic although it’s thought that Sosa could return for this fixture. Meanwhile Brazil have a number of concerning injuries in Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles being forced out after suffering injuries whilst playing against Cameroon. Alex Sandro is looking to make a return for this fixture but it’s not known if he’s 100% up to the task. Good news for the team in yellow is that Danilo and Neymar are both fit.

Croatia haven’t shown the capabilities they exhibited four years ago and hence your best bet is for Brazil to win this one. Predictions can range from a correct score of 2-0 to Brazil and if both teams score a 3-1 win for Brazil. A good handicap bet is Brazil -1.5 whilst a good prop bet would be that of Brazil to win and under 3.5 goals. As for player bets you can choose for Neymar as anytime goalscorer and Raphinha anytime assist. Be sure to have a look and compare the Best Soccer Odds before placing any bets!
