Bookmaker-Ratings expert Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for Friday’s FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match between Croatia and Brazil.
Croatia beat Japan on penalties to reach the quarterfinals, maintaining their record of never losing a penalty shootout at a World Cup.
That was an epic and stunning match for both teams. Croatia deserved to win, but you know Japan didn’t deserve to lose. But that’s football.
They will try to make the semifinals for the third time in their history, having finished third in 1998 and runners-up in the most recent tournament in 2018.
It’s worth noting that Croatia has now won 10 of their last 11 World Cup games.
A brilliant Brazil gave South Korea no chance and advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals with a 4-1 win.
Brazil have a solid and very stacked team with good quality, and great players, like Neymar, Vinicius, Richarlison, Paqueta, and others.
This is a team of Brazil full of players who are talented, passionate, and pure class.
Who is my favorite? Obviously, I would say Brazil. They were perfect against South Korea. It was just incredible to watch. It was beautiful to watch TV.
Luca Modric vs Neymar? Well, I would definitely go for Neymar. He is a magician. He is currently on another level, playing alongside many great players like Silva, Paqueta, and Richarlison. It would be a very difficult game for Croatia.
My prediction? I can see Brazil winning 2:0.
