Croatia vs. Brazil lineups
Despite going through 120 minutes of action — and spot kicks — against Japan, Zlatko Dalic is unlikely to make too many starting changes, with Marko Livaja potentially replacing Bruno Petkovic in attack.
Croatia projected lineup (4-3-3): 1. Livakovic (GK) — 22. Juranovic, 6. Lovren, 20. Gvardiol, 3. Barisic — 10. Modric, 11. Brozovic, 8. Kovacic — 9. Kramaric, 14. Livaja, 4. Perisic
Tite recalled his key stars for their Round of 16 win over South Korea, with Neymar back in action for Brazil, and he could stick with an unchanged starting team.
Brazil projected lineup (4-2-3-1): 1. Alisson (GK) — 14. Militao, 4. Marquinhos, 3. Silva, 2. Danilo — 7. Paqueta, 5. Casemiro — 11. Raphinha, 10. Neymar, 20. Vinicius Jr — 9. Richarlison

Croatia vs. Brazil odds, prediction
Despite Croatia reaching the final in Russia four years ago, Brazil are strong favourites to win this tie, and ease on into the last four in Qatar.
However, based on their strong defensive record in the Middle East, with two goals conceded in four games, Croatia should limit Brazil to a narrow victory.
