Brazil vs Norway – Lineups and team news

Brazil

Lucas Paqueta was withdrawn at half-time against Japan, and he sits out this game vs Norway. Gabriel Martinelli starts in his place.

Other than that, the team remains the same, with Matheus Cunha leading the line alongside Vinicius Junior and Rayan supporting him from the flanks.

Brazil playing XI: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos; Guimaraes, Casemiro, Martinelli; Rayan, Cunha, Vini Jr.

Norway

Norway started the match against Ivory Coast with Marcus Holmgrem Pedersen starting at right back as Julian Ryerson was injured.

But Ryerson is back and replaces Pederson at right back, and that is the only change that Norway made.

Norway: Nyland; Ryerson, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Odegaard, Berge, Berg; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa

Our Prediction

Brazil and Norway have met four times against each other, and Norway is yet to lose against Brazil. Although past history doesn’t really decide the current results, it will, of course, motivate Norway.

We don’t think either of the teams can keep a clean sheet with both defences looking shaky at times, particularly Norway’s. The match is going to be exciting, and we think Norway will outclass Brazil’s attack and win the match 3-2.
