Players to Watch

Neymar


A major difference in the confidence of the Brazilian team was clearly apparent in the last game after Neymar’s arrival. He is the team’s leader and he has been stitching all attacks for Brazil. As again, Neymar will be the center of marking between Croatia’s defenders, and this battle will determine the outcome of the match.

Josko Gvardiol


This tournament has so far been a memorable one for Josko Gvardiol as the Croatian defender at the back. Attackers have had a very hard time against him, but Brazilian players might present him with different challenges. The Leipzig defender has had an incredible run and will be hoping to continue.
