Brazil vs Norway Preview and Team News
Brazil Team News
Brazil are one of the favorites to win the FIFA World Cup. They defeated Japan 2-1 in the Round of 32 thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Gabriel Martinelli. The Canarinho controlled the match throughout, keeping 69% of the ball and registering 19 shots, including seven on target.
Although they had to wait until the final moments for the decisive goal, the 2.07 xG they generated in that game should give them plenty of confidence heading into the clash with Norway.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be pleased with the team’s 92% passing accuracy. Brazil won 60% of their aerial duels, and that superiority in the air could prove valuable against Norway.
Lucas Paqueta has been ruled out with an injury, while Casemiro and Raphinha are doubts. However, the latter is back in training.
Brazil predicted lineup vs Norway (4-3-3): Alisson; Santos, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Danilo; Fabinho, Ederson, Guimaraes; Vinicius, Cunha, Martinelli.
Norway Team News
Norway made it to the Round of 32 by defeating Ivory Coast 2-1. They have now won three of their four games at this World Cup.
Goals from Erling Haaland and Antonio Nusa secured the win against the Africans, while captain Martin Odegaard pulled strings from midfield. The Arsenal player completed 88% of his passes and won 100% of his aerial duels.
Haaland, meanwhile, recorded a team-high four shots and put every one of them on target. Patrick Berg also impressed in midfield, posting an xA of 1.08, a 91% passing accuracy, and a perfect record in his ground duels.
Julian Ryerson remains unavailable because of a thigh injury.
Norway predicted lineup vs Brazil (4-3-3): Nyland; Wolfe, Heggem, Ajer, Pedersen; Berg, Berge, Odegaard; Nusa, Haaland, Sorloth.
Brazil vs Norway Prediction
- Pick: Brazil to qualify
- Odds: -239 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Brazil 3-2 Norway
Both teams favor an attacking style, which should make for an entertaining contest, but we expect Brazil to qualify for the next round.
The gap between the squads is reflected in the FIFA rankings, with the Canarinho sitting sixth and Norway 31st.
This game could easily require extra time or even penalties, with the first 90 minutes nullified by goals from either side. Brazil have been in stronger form than their opponents at this World Cup, as they are unbeaten in four matches, while the Vikings have lost once in their previous two.
Brazil vs Norway Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First goal – Brazil
- Odds: -164 (20Bet)
Brazil should open the scoring. They have an array of attacking options in their ranks, led by Matheus Cunha and Vinicius, who have already combined for eight goal contributions at this World Cup.
Bruno Guimaraes has also been instrumental, controlling the tempo in midfield while creating chances consistently. Currently, he ranks second in the tournament with four assists and is already on the cusp of history. Only Pelé has bagged more assists for Brazil at a single World Cup, with six in 1970.
