FIFA World Cup 26™: What to look out for in Brazil v Norway 🇧🇷🇳🇴 | OneFootball

New York New Jersey Stadium is the venue for FIFA World Cup 26™ Round of 16 action as Brazil face Norway.

This is everything you need to know about the mouthwatering match-up.

Who is playing today? 👀

Brazil began their campaign with a comeback draw against Morocco before comfortably dispatching both Haiti and Scotland to advance as group winners.

Their reward was a difficult Round of 32 tie with Japan and despite falling behind, rallied to win in the final moments of injury-time to qualify.

Norway started by scoring four against Iraq and three against Senegal and although they lost their final group game against France, the job was already done to secure qualification.

Their Round of 32 match with Côte d'Ivoire produced plenty of drama and after Antonio Nusa's superb strike was pegged back, Erling Haaland popped up as always with a late winner to set up a battle with Brazil.

Players to watch 🔥

Vinícius Júnior has been Brazil's main man in the tournament so far and will be a big threat to Norway's defence as his game-topping 7.93 Creativity Score in the FIFA Power Rankings - powered by Aramco against Japan shows.

Casemiro came up with their crucial equaliser, which saw him earn a 7.82 Attacking Score but he was also top of the charts in the Defending Score too with 8.04.

But if Gabriel Martinelli's performance coming off the bench taught us anything, it is that this is a Seleção side packed with depth and he registered an 8.24 Attacking Score for his clinical late winner.

Defender Gabriel is going to have his hands full again against his old foe Haaland, who has now found the net in a staggering 13 consecutive competitive fixtures for his country.

Nusa did eclipse him in the Attacking Score ratings against Côte d'Ivoire with an 8.76 thanks to his wonder goal and there were other notable performers outside of the Manchester City machine too.

Martin Ødegaard was a constant threat and had a 7.93 Creativity Score, while Kristoffer Ajer's 7.73 Defending Score was the highest of any player on the field.
