'Croatia are a great test for Brazil' - Selecao prepare for friendly clash at Anfield

With stars like Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic, the Balkans outfit are sure to pose a few problems for Tite's men when they meet on Sunday

Brazil's World Cup preparations continue this week as the Selecao prepare for a Brasil Global Tour friendly against Croatia on Sunday, the first of two matches scheduled prior to the main event in Russia.

The clash against Croatia will serve as a warm-up for Brazil, who take on the Balkan nation's neighbours Serbia during Group E of the finals. Boasting a midfield packed with talent, Croatia are a great test for the Selecao who will be taking on a side that are talented and will seek to take the initiative in attack throughout the game.
