Croatia vs Brazil prediction, odds, betting tips and best bets for World Cup 2022 quarterfinal

Brazil will look to shake their recent World Cup quarterfinal slump when they face Croatia at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.

The Selecao have lost three of their last four World Cup quarterfinal matches, including in 2018 when they fell to Belgium, tasting early elimination.

Overview

Croatia, the 2018 World Cup runners-up, have been poor so far this tournament overall but has ground out results, with just one win in 90 minutes compared to three draws through their four matches. They qualified for the quarterfinal by beating Japan on penalties.

Still, since the start of the 2018 tournament, Luka Modric and Co. have proven a tough nut to crack, with just one loss through their last 11 World Cup matches, coming in 2018 final vs France.

After pummeling South Korea in the Round of 16, Neymar will fancy his chances in this match, having returned to the field in that game after missing time with an ankle injury. He faces his old El Clasico rival Modric, as the two are familiar opponents from Neymar’s time with Barcelona.

Croatia vs Brazil betting odds

Brazil is heavily fancied by the bookmakers here, and the sub-par performances by Croatia in this tournament so far are reflected in their odds. The impressive win over South Korea, meanwhile, put to bed any doubts of Brazil’s ceiling in Qatar.

The cover has a slight advantage in this match thanks to the form of Brazil’s attacking trio, highlighted by the return of Neymar from injury. Meanwhile, oddsmakers don’t think Croatia can find a way through the Brazil backline, which has conceded just two goals all tournament, one of those coming in the group-stage finale against Cameroon with their second-choice lineup deployed.

Croatia vs Brazil: 3 things to know

Croatia vs Brazil team news

The biggest issue for Croatia is a muscle injury to full-back Josip Stanisic, who missed the Round of 16 wins over Japan. Josip Juranovic filled in and went the distance, playing extremely well. His full-back counterpart, Borna Sosa, also missed that game due to illness, with Borna Barisic stepping in, and it’s thought Sosa could return.

Brazil has a number of injuries to worry about. Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles are out of the tournament after suffering injuries in the final group-stage game against Cameroon, while Alex Sandro is hoping to shake off his hip injury after missing the Round of 16 wins over South Korea, with Eder Militao having filled in at right-back. Danilo is fit, having started that first knockout match, as is Neymar, who played 80 minutes after recovering from an ankle injury.
