Skonto Rigga

The quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup get underway at 15:00 GMT, with tournament favourites Brazil in action against 2018 finalists Croatia.

Tite’s side are unchanged from the side that beat South Korea in the round of 16.

But Croatia make two changes to the side that squeaked past Japan on penalties in Matchday 4.

Budget defender Borna Sosa is available again and starts at left-back in place of Borna Barisic.

The other change sees Mario Pasalic come in for Bruno Petkovic.

MATCHDAY 5 LINE-UPS

Brazil XI: Alisson, Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Danilo, Paqueta, Casemiro, Raphinha, Vinicius, Neymar, Richarlison.

Croatia XI: Livakovic, Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic.

Croatia are so determined, fight like warriors.

Brazil are too casual. Too complacent. Out of focus. Maybe they practiced the dance moves too much.

  He has a problem playing against teams that play him physical like Serbia did. I think the differential will come from Vinny or Rapha

  Doesn't do enough defensively to help the midfield, and when he gets the ball he just loses it.

Goals will come in the 2nd half, if Croatia score 1st then that will force Brazil to really go all out, if Brazil score first then that will really expose Croatia and goals will be incoming
