WHAT ABOUT COLUNA DO FLA?

The Coluna do Fla reporting team is covering everything about the National Team across all platforms: YouTube, social media, and the official website. That is because Flamengo has four red-and-black representatives wearing the green-and-yellow jersey: Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Pereira, and Lucas Paquetá.

On YouTube, Coluna do Fla will broadcast the match, with pre-game coverage starting at 3 p.m. (Brasília time). Guilherme Dutra, Leo José, Lucas Pessin, and Rock Hudson will lead the broadcast.

HOW IS BRAZIL COMING IN?

Brazil heads into its second knockout match with confidence running high. The 2-1 win over Japan in the first knockout round kept the Brazilians unbeaten in the competition.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti has a significant absence for the clash against the Norwegians. Flamengo midfielder Lucas Paquetá suffered an injury to his left thigh and will miss the match.

However, Raphinha has recovered from an injury to the hamstring in his right thigh and has returned to training with the squad. Therefore, there is a possibility that the forward will be available against Norway.

Keeping the core lineup used in the group stage is gaining strength. Brazil’s likely lineup is as follows: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Douglas Santos, Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, Martinelli, Vinicius Júnior, Matheus Cunha, and Rayan. Additionally, expectations are growing for Danilo Santos and Endrick to come on.

AND NORWAY?

Norway reached the round of 16 after eliminating Ivory Coast. The 2-1 win in a balanced matchup secured the Nordics a place among the tournament’s 16 best teams.

Norway’s possible lineup for the match includes Nyland, Pedersen, Kristoffer Ajer, Heggem, David Wolfe, Sander Berge, Patrick Berg, Martin Ødegaard, Antonio Nusa, Sørloth, and Erling Haaland.

IS BRAZIL THE FAVORITE?

The head-to-head record presents a real challenge for Brazil, even with the green-and-yellow side seen as the favorite. That is because Norway holds an unbeaten streak against the Brazil National Team after four matches, with two European wins and two draws.

The most emblematic clash took place at the 1998 World Cup in France. Bebeto opened the scoring, but Norway came from behind to win 2-1. Both teams secured qualification for the round of 16 in that edition of the World Cup.

The teams have had only one more meeting since then. The 2006 friendly ended in a 1-1 draw. Now, after nearly two decades, Brazil is looking to break this historic streak in a decisive knockout clash for a place in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup.
