Croatia vs. Brazil: bets on total goals, bookings, corners and top scorers in the quarterfinals of the World Cup – Jugo Mobile
Neymar and Brazil are both looking to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, but 2018 finalists Croatia are standing in their way when the two sides meet in the quarter-finals in Qatar.
Brazil have only progressed past the quarter-finals once since winning their last World Cup title in 2002, and will look to overcome their rut as favorites in pre-tournament betting.
Luka Modric and Croatia, on the other hand, have proved difficult to beat, with only one defeat in the last two editions of the World Cup, in the final of the last edition, against France.
Neymar returned to Brazil healthy, and his presence helped defeat Korea Republic 4-1 in the last game, with the entire forward line in great shape for the South American side. For Croatia, they managed to overcome Japan in the Round of 16 on penalties after a goalless draw.

Croatia vs. Brazil odds, lines, handicaps to win
Bookmakers here favor Brazil, and Croatia’s below-average performance in this tournament so far is reflected in their odds. Meanwhile, the impressive victory over South Korea removed any doubts about Brazil’s ceiling in Qatar.
The over has a slight advantage in this game thanks to the form of the Brazilian attacking trio, which highlights the return of Neymar from injury. Punters, meanwhile, don’t believe Croatia can get past the defense of Brazil, who have conceded just two goals in the entire tournament, including one in the group stage final against Cameroon with their line-up. 🇧🇷

Team News Croatia vs. Brazil, injuries
Croatia’s biggest problem is a hamstring injury josip stanisicwho missed the Round of 16 victory over Japan. Josip Juranovic he filled in and went the distance, playing extremely well. Its lateral counterpart, Borna Sosa, he also missed that match due to illness, with borna barisic intervening, and it is believed that Sosa could return.
Brazil have a number of injuries to worry about. Gabriel Jesus Y Alex Telles is out of the tournament after suffering injuries in the last group game against Cameroon, while Alex Sandro hopes to recover from his hip injury after missing out on a Round of 16 victory over South Korea with eder militao having occupied the right-back position. Danilo he’s in shape, having started that first knockout match, as he is neymar, who played 80 minutes after recovering from an ankle injury.
Croatia top scorer odds vs. Brazil
Brazil’s top scorers are almost universally favored in this clash to find the back of the net, due to their firepower throughout the line-up. Neymar is understandably the most likely to score in the group, but Richarlison, Raphinha and Vinicius Jr. have a great chance in the net to push Brazil to the semi-final. Despite only playing 26 minutes in the tournament, bookmakers are also giving Flamengo leader Pedro a great chance to score.
For Croatia, the outlook is bleaker. Lone striker Andrej Kramaric has led the charge so far, but Croatia have scored just one goal in their 4-1 win over Canada in the group stage, so he is believed to be unlikely to break up the solid defensive unit.

Croatia vs. Brazil Cards and Corner Odds
Hajduk Split striker Marko Livaja has yet to pick up a yellow card in this tournament, but he is believed to be the man most at risk of being booked in this match. Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has the lowest chances of all the South Americans, as he will protect the defense line from any Croatian counter-attacks down the middle.
It is believed that Brazil will focus on attacking power, which would lead to a significant corner advantage. Meanwhile, Croatia are not a team that consistently accumulate corners, so their total is much lower, especially when you consider that they are likely to be without the ball for a long time.

Observation: Card totals count a straight red card as two cardswhile a second yellow to a red counts as three cards in all (one for initial yellow, two for red).
How do booking points work?
Rather than counting the total number of bookings in a match, “reserve points” are used in Europe to summarize a team’s or match’s disciplinary history.
This is how booking points are calculated:
- A yellow card = 10 reserve points
- One red card = 25 booking points
- Second yellow card = 35 total points per card (10 for initial yellow, 25 for red; 2nd yellow does not contribute)
