Croatia will take on the tournament favorites Brazil today. Croatia was the finalist for the 2018 edition, where they lost to France in the final. They were the dark horses for the campaign, and their run to the finals was one of the reasons their captain, Luka Modric, won the Balon d’Or.
Croatia will look to repeat the heroics of the last campaign. Although, this time, it will take a miraculous performance to knock out the mighty Brazilian team. They will depend on their superstar midfield with Luka Modric at the center and the defense, which has been solid so far.
