Friendlies
Brazil has been quite inconsistent in its performances lately. It definitely does not look to be in optimal form at this stage. They did not impress in their friendly match against France a few days ago, losing 1:2. They have two wins in their last six matches, which is generally not a good indicator for such a team. Carlo Ancelotti needs to find a way to fill the gaps in the squad and address the weaknesses, as the World Cup is getting closer.
Croatia is set to play another friendly in the USA against another representative from South America. Last week, they won 2:1 against Colombia in another friendly match. Thus, Croatia appears to be in form with eight wins and one draw in their last nine matches. I also remind that in the last World Cup, they eliminated Brazil, so there is nothing to worry about this time either.
Prediction: X2 double chance, goal/goalsBrazil is definitely far from its best form. Croatia is even in better shape, and I would bet on at least a draw for the Croatians in this friendly on neutral ground, where it would not be surprising to see goals from both teams.
