Brazil v Croatia Preview and Prediction

On Sunday afternoon, one of the World Cup favourites Brazil and Croatia go head to head at Anfield, as the two teams look to prepare for Russia 2018.

Brazil with the likes of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are potentially one of the most exciting prospects heading the World Cup.

After a poor start to qualifying, the Selecao coasted to qualification for Russia 2018, topping the South American section. Tite’s side has also been in fine form of late, winning four of their five outings, while also keeping clean sheets in five of their last six outings.

Croatia’s recent form has been a mixed bag, but they have recorded victories in three of their last five outings, suffering defeat on just one occasion.

Goals have been scarce in Croatia’s recent games, as nine of their last eight games have produced under 2.5 goals.

The Eastern European nation needed a play-off to make the World Cup after finishing second to surprise package Iceland. Having gone into Euro 2016 with big expectations and struggling to fulfil their potential, they will be hoping for better results in Russia this summer.

This game will certainly be good preparation for Croatia, who face another South American giant Argentina this summer at the World Cup.

Prediction

Brazil win/or under 2.5 goals
