Brazil
Being the host country, they are out to attack and impress the home crowd. If this world cup they are not able to win it, I do not know when would they win it again. Brazil has a very strong attacking squad but defensively still needs some brushing up. Players like David Luiz, Daniel Alves are all very offensive oriented defenders, hence there would need to be very disciplined to stay behind and defend properly.
With a coach like Scolari, defensive duties would come first. I believe they would do a good job defending.
Croatia
Their star striker, Mandzukic, is banned for this game. This would be a huge blow to Croatia. But with the backup striker of Eduardo, the striking department is still sufficient. Players like Luka Modric will be able to dictate the midfield with his years of experience at Real Madrid. Be very wary Brazil.
My pick: Brazil under 2.5
