In a Round of 16 clash at the World Cup, the Brazilian National Team takes on Norway starting at 5 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (05), in New Jersey. Whoever comes out on top will secure a place in the tournament quarterfinals.
Brazil comes in as the favorite against Norway, but will face one of the most dangerous attacks in the World Cup, led by Erling Haaland. Carlo Ancelotti’s team showed resilience by knocking out Japan and, if they can control the Norwegians’ quick transitions, they have a good chance of confirming their place in the quarterfinals.
Prediction: Brazil 2 x 1 Norway.
As usual, EsportivaBet is offering the best odds for today’s match. Even with Brazil favored, the bookmaker has made available 2.00 odds for Brazil to qualify. In other words, if Brazil advances—whether in regular time, extra time, or on penalties—the amount wagered is doubled.
Check out other offers:
Carlo Ancelotti’s side has Vini Jr. as its main star. The forward, who came through at Flamengo and now plays for Real Madrid (ESP), is the Seleção’s top scorer with four goals. So, the left winger’s challenge will be getting past the towering Norwegian defenders.
Besides Vini, center-back Gabriel Magalhães could make the difference in the duel against Haaland. That’s because the defender knows the opponent from their meetings in the English Championship.
The Norwegian National Team is putting all its chips on Haaland. Striker Erling Haaland has one more goal than Vinicius Júnior. So, the ‘comet’ is coming off yet another top-scoring season with Manchester City (ENG) in the Premier League, considered the strongest league.
Brazil: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Gabriel Martinelli; Rayan, Matheus Cunha and Vini Jr. Coach: Carlo Ancelotti.
Norway: Nyland; Pedersen (Fredrik Aursnes), Ajer, Torbjorn Heggem and Wolfe; Berge, Patrick Berg and Odegaard; Nusa, Alexander Sorloth (Oscar Bobb) and Haaland. Coach: Ståle Solbakken.
So, the match between Brazil and Norway will be broadcast by CazéTV on YouTube, as well as Globo and SBT on free-to-air TV. In addition, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the match details on its website, with an emphasis on Flamengo players.
