This match will be the last chance for Carlo Ancelotti to work with his players. The attack may look very different from what the Italian manager wants, as Raphinha has been ruled out with an injury that could keep him out for more than a month. However, Vinicius may also be absent with a muscle issue that has been bothering him.
In Croatia, things are more settled as Zlatko Dalić has been the manager for many years. Not having as many players to choose from as Brazil does make things easier, but his work has been strong in major tournaments. They can be a tough test for any team.
