Croatia Brazil Prediction

It is certain that the Quarter-Finals will be exciting with two quality teams in the competition.

• Croatia has been inconsistent in their attack in the world cup. They have failed to score in two of the four games but the Zlatko Dalic side has been dogged in their defense. Gvardiol leading the charge and has two clean sheets in the tournament.
• Conversely, Brazil has started to come into their groove as Tite’s side showed their class against South Korea and spells danger for any side. Defensively, they have been as good as Croatia.

We believe Brazil’s front five have the potential to unlock any defense which spells danger for Croatia. Unlike many predictions, we believe this would be a close game with Croatia frustrating Brazil. It can be one goal that could separate both sides. Prediction: Brazil to win 2: 1 or 1: 0
