Pre-match
Croatia starting XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Brozovic, Modric, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic
Brazil starting XI: Alisson; Militao, Silva, Marquinhos, Danilo; Casemiro, Paqueta; Vinicius Jr, Neymar, Raphinha; Richarlison
Players to watch: After scoring the equaliser against Japan, Ivan Perišić moved level with Davor Šuker as Croatia’s leading goalscorer at the World Cup with six goals, and will be hungry to break that record here. Looking to do damage at the other end will be Neymar, who returned from injury to score in victory over South Korea, and knows a repeat of his brace in 2014’s meeting with Croatia would see him overtake Pele as Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Hot stat: Croatia have won all three of their World Cup penalty shootouts, including in back-to-back games en route to the 2018 final.
World Cup trivia: Brazil’s Cafu is the only player to appear in three consecutive FIFA World Cup finals, doing so in 1994, 1998 and 2002 (W2, L1).
