Brazil vs Norway Preview
Brazil face Norway in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 at New York/New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium), with kick-off set for 16:00 on Sunday 5 July.
New York/New Jersey Stadium is an open-air venue where humid conditions, thunderstorms and a temperature of 28°C (83°F) are expected at kick-off.
Brazil edged Morocco on goal difference to finish top of Group G. Their campaign began with a 1-1 draw against the Atlas Lions before back-to-back 3-0 victories over Haiti and Scotland secured first place.
A 2-1 win over Japan at Houston Stadium booked Seleção's place in the Round of 16. Brazil dominated proceedings with 68% possession and seven shots on target, while Casemiro and Gabriel Martinelli both found the net.
Norway progressed to the knockout stages after finishing second in Group I, three points behind France. Stale Solbakken's men opened with a 4-1 win over Iraq before beating Senegal 3-2. A heavily rotated side then suffered a 4-1 defeat to France after resting 10 players.
The Norwegians returned to winning ways in the Round of 32, defeating Ivory Coast 2-1 at Dallas Stadium. They enjoyed 55% possession and registered four shots on target, with Antonio Nusa and Erling Haaland getting on the scoresheet.
Norway Yet to Lose Against Brazil
The teams have met four times, with Norway unbeaten against Brazil. Norway have won two of those meetings, including a famous 2-1 victory at the 1998 World Cup, while the other two matches ended in draws.
Their most recent meeting came in 2006, when they played out a 1-1 draw in a friendly.
| FIFA World Cup | G | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | GD | P | |

| 1 |  Brazil |
3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 6 | 7:1 | 7 |
| 2 |  Norway |
3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 8 | 7 | 1 | 8:7 | 6 |
6 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, averaging 1.6 goals from 10.3 attempts and 4.8 shots on goal. Brazil have had 56.9% possession and 4.8 corners per match. On average, they have conceded 0.8 goals from 8.7 attempts and 3.8 shots on goal, while their opponents have earned 3.8 corners.
Vinicius Junior leads the way with 6 goals, Matheus Cunha has 4, with Casemiro and two others on 1. Bruno Guimaraes is the leading assists maker on 4, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker keeping 2 clean sheets.
Norway have won 9 and lost 1, averaging 14.8 attempts, 6.1 shots on goal and 3.8 goals. The Lions average 55.0% possession, 494.5 passes, 4.4 corners in their favour and 3.7 corners against, while 1.1 goals have been conceded from 3.0 shots on goal and 10.0 attempts.
Erling Haaland is top of the team’s scoring charts with 19, Thelo Aasgaard has 5, with Antonio Nusa and Alexander Soerloth both on 3. Martin Oedegaard has had 6 assists in the previous 10 games, while Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland has 3 clean sheets to his name.
Confirmed Lineups
Brazil confirmed lineup (4-1-2-3): Alisson Becker (GK), Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos, Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Martinelli, Rayan, Matheus Cunha, Vinicius Junior.
Norway confirmed lineup (4-1-2-3): Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland (GK), Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer, Torbjoern Lysaker Heggem, David Moeller Wolfe, Sander Berge, Martin Oedegaard, Patrick Berg, Alexander Soerloth, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa.
Main Match Prediction
We rate Norway's chances far higher than the market suggests. Stale Solbakken's side possess plenty of quality, with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard capable of causing problems for any defence. They have looked particularly impressive when fielding their strongest XI, while the 4-1 defeat to France can be discounted given that 10 players were rested.
The bookmakers rate Brazil among the leading contenders to lift the trophy and Vinicius Junior has been one of the standout performers so far. However, this Seleção side does not look quite as intimidating as some of the great Brazilian teams of previous generations. They have also benefited from a favourable route through the competition and the only time they faced top-level opposition in the group stage, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Morocco.
With Norway carrying genuine attacking threat and Brazil perhaps receiving a little too much respect from the market, backing Norway +0.75 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -127 looks the standout value bet.
Plenty of research goes into our football picks. It begins by focusing on the latest World Cup form and knowing the injury situation. The important numbers can then be utilised to help complete the picture.

Norway
We’ve found an attractive bet at odds of +575 and it involves the game ending in a 1-1 scoreline. We like a wager on correct score as there’s the chance to bank a bigger return.
Player Prop Picks
Erling Haaland (Norway) has fired over 1.5 shots on goal in seven straight matches. We are in favour of betting the +108 that he is able to cover the line, with this Shots on Target wager looking like it might yield dividends.
Antonio Nusa (Norway) has scored two goals in his past eight games. The odds that he will be an Anytime Goalscorer look attractive considering the numbers and we’ll plump for him to find the net at odds of +475.
