Where to watch Brazil vs Croatia live?

The match will be broadcast on TV Globo, Ge TV, and SporTV.

How Brazil comes into the match

The Brazilian National Team is looking to bounce back after the defeat to France. In addition to the poor result, the team’s performance raised warning signs ahead of the World Cup. For this match, coach Carlo Ancelotti will be without right-back Wesley and forward Raphinha. Both suffered injuries and were ruled out. As a result, Danilo and João Pedro are expected to start among the first eleven.

Otherwise, Ancelotti may keep the players who started against France. However, players who did not get a chance in the last friendly could come on during the match.

How Croatia comes into the match

On the other side, Croatia is coming off a 2-1 win over Colombia in a friendly. With the victory, the Croatians extended their run to four straight wins and remained unbeaten in nine matches.

The Croatian national team’s last defeat came in March 2025, precisely against France. On that occasion, the team lost 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Nations League and was ultimately eliminated after a penalty shootout.
