Brazil are still favourites to take the World Cup 2022 crown, and will need to be at their best to dismiss a Croatia side with a rich history in World Cup competition. The South American giants earned a 4-1 victory in the Brazil v South Korea game on Monday, looking comfortable as they did so.
Meanwhile, Croatia had to resort to penalties to come through from the Japan v Croatia game. Don't let that performance fool you though – this Croatia side are seasoned veterans of World Cup football, even reaching the final in Russia four years ago.
I'd still expect Brazil to win though. They're favourites this year for a reason, and the whole air about the squad seems really positive. They look like a well-oiled machine on the pitch too, and their combination of youth and experience looks well positioned to take the victory here.
Croatia v Brazil: kick-off time and stadium
Croatia v Brazil will kick off at 3pm GMT. It will take place at the Education City Stadium in Doha, which has a capacity of 44,667.
Croatia are one hour ahead of GMT, so that's a 4pm kick-off there, while fans in Brazil are between 2 and 5 hours behind, making kick-off anywhere from 10am-1pm depending on what part of the country you find yourself in.
For fans in Australia, a 2am AEDT start will will surely dissuade most from catching the action live, while fans in the USA can tune in from 7am PT / 10am ET.
