Brazil and Croatia meet in the final international friendly before their respective journeys in the 2026 FIFA World Cup start with squad selection. This match on Tuesday at midnight at the neutral venue of Camping World Stadium in Orlando between the ‘Selecao’ and the ‘Blazers’ comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The five-time world champions haven’t dominated the World Cup qualifiers, finishing fifth among the six direct qualifiers and a whopping ten points behind Argentina. Even their recent form hasn’t been up to scratch, leaving manager Carlo Ancelotti struggling to find the magic wand to transform fortunes.
Croatia, currently one of the most in-form teams in global football, have no such worries. Eight wins out of the last nine matches (D1) and an unbeaten run in the qualifiers (W7, D1) give Croatia confidence and extend the momentum before the global tournament. Will there be a surprise result in Orlando? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Brazil - Croatia: Form Analysis
Brazil lost 2-1 to France on Thursday in an international friendly. That result continued their recent indifferent form. The ‘Selecao’ have three defeats from their last six matches (W2, D1), a run that started with a defeat to Bolivia in the last match of the CONMEBOL qualifiers.
Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland await Brazil in Group C of the World Cup, but Ancelotti has a lot to improve before worrying about the global tournament. Tunisia drew, while Japan shocked Brazil in recent times, while the defeat to France lay bare their deficiencies.
Croatia defeated Brazil via penalties to reach the 2022 World Cup semis.
The ‘Blazers’ defeated Colombia 2-1 in a friendly on Friday to continue their impressive recent run. The Croats are now unbeaten in nine matches (W8, D1) including winning the last four in a row. Their last defeat was against France in the UEFA Nations League, via penalties.
Croatia dominated the UEFA World Cup qualifiers, topping Group L with an unbeaten run (W7, D1). They are paired with England, Ghana, and Panama in Group L of the 2026 World Cup and will target a statement win here to continue their winning momentum.

Brazil & Croatia Squad Analysis
Brazil were rocked by an injury to Raphinha in the loss against France. The Barcelona forward could be out on the sidelines for around five weeks. Roma right-back Wesley has been sent home due to a thigh injury, while Vinicius Jr is a doubt for this fixture.
That leaves Ancelotti with a decision on his attacking forwards in the 4-2-2-2 formation. Matheus Cunha could have Joao Pedro for company in the attacking unit, unless Brentford’s Igor Thiago gets a start.
Modric has only one career goal against CONMBEOL nations, versus Argentina.
Croatia are set to be without backup ‘keeper Dominik Kotarski, who was injured before their match against Colombia. There are no other injury concerns for the ‘Blazers’, who are likely to see captain Luka Modric get a game from the start.
The Croats could revert to their favourite 3-4-3 formation with Modric leading the central midfield. Andrej Karmaric could push for a starting role too, although Nikola Vlasic could get the nod ahead of him.
Brazil - Croatia Key Points
- Three of Brazil’s last four matches produced goals from both teams.
- Croatia’s last three matches saw both teams score goals.
- Croatia scored 2+ goals in seven of their last nine matches.
- Brazil scored in seven of their last eight matches.

Our Brazil vs Croatia Prediction
Brazil aren’t playing like the Brazilian teams of the old, and that’s a concern for coach Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the World Cup. The ‘Selecao’ lost three of their last six matches, and the two victories came against South Korea and Senegal. Croatia, on the other hand, are proving to be a team in form ahead of the summer global tournament. The Croats have eight wins from their last nine games and will fancy another major scalp.
With the World Cup so close, rotation could be the order of the day, but our Brazil vs Croatia prediction is BTTS.
Brazil vs Croatia Alternative Predictions
Croatia wins
Croatia have eight wins from their last nine matches (D1), including four in a row. Brazil, on the other hand, have been struggling for momentum. Two defeats out of the last four is a cause of concern. This could be Croatia’s chance to upset the Brazilians.
