Brazil have won their last 3 matches against Croatia in all competitions. Croatia are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 matches (FIFA World Cup).
Croatia made it through to the quarter-finals after beating Japan on penalties, maintaining their record of never losing a penalty shootout at a World Cup. They will be aiming to reach the semi-finals for only the third time in their history, after finishing third in 1998 and runners-up at the last tournament in 2018. Brazil qualified for the quarter-finals with a convincing 4-1 win over South Korea. Since winning the World Cup in 2002, they have gone out at the quarter-finals stage of the World Cup on three out of the four years, finishing fourth in 2014. Croatia will offer a test to Brazil and will be hard to break down, but the five time champions should get the win here. 0:2
Borna Sosa was not part of the matchday squad in the win over Japan, due to having a virus, but he should be in contention to return for a start in this game. Josip Stamisic also missed the Japan game, owing to a muscular injury, and so will have to be assessed ahead of this game. Alex Sandro missed both the game against Cameroon and the game against South Korea owing to a hip injury and so will have to be assessed before this game.
