FIFA World Cup 2022: Former champions Brazil and last-time finalists Croatia will battle it out for a quarter-final spot in the FIFA World Cup. Croatia’s opponents are Japan, who advanced to the last 16 with upsets. Brazil will face South Korea, who defeated Portugal. Check out the competition details.
Croatia – Japan
Japan’s arrival from Group E has defeated the strong and former world champions Spain and Germany. The unexpected gift of the World Cup is the ‘Japan technology’ that finds goals even if the possession of the ball is only for a short time. Croatia is sure to be in danger of a coup.
But Luka Modric’s side will be confident of not losing a single match at the World Cup. Croatia conceded one win and two draws in the group stage. Croatia’s strength is defense. The front line’s only job is to get the ball into the net from Luka Modric, who plays in the midfield. It will also be a battle between Japan’s lightning attack and Croatia’s defense.
The match will be played at Al Junoob Stadium at 8:30 pm Indian time.
Brazil – South Korea
The ‘B’ team fielded in the final match of the group, but Cameroon did not allow Brazil to go undefeated as they had hoped. But when we reach the pre-quarters, the game and the field will change. Neymar is really recovering from injury. And defender Danilo will come. It is certain that Tite will mobilize the soldiers of Brazil who were out against Cameroon against South Korea. Along with Neymar, the goalscoring responsibility will be passed on to Richarlison and Vinicius. South Korea can also take advantage of the cracks in the defense and the back four will try.
South Korea is hot on the heels of their thrashing of Portugal. Brazil also cannot take South Korea lightly, having reached the pre-quarters from a group that includes Ghana and Uruguay in addition to Portugal. Korean hopes rest on the feet of superstar Sun Hyung Min. Sun’s pass through three defenders led to the winning goal against Portugal.
The match will be at 12.30 PM IST at Stadium 974.
