MetLife Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited World Cup last-16 showdown as Brazil and Norway battle for a place in the quarter-finals. Brazil showed their resilience once again by coming from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in the last 32. Carlo Ancelotti may have selection problems in midfield, with Lucas Paqueta unlikely to recover from a muscle injury and Casemiro also a major doubt. Even so, Brazil remain one of the tournament favourites, winning seven of their last ten matches while averaging 2.4 goals scored and 1.77 expected goals (xG) per game. The Selecao have found the net in every one of their last ten matches, highlighting the depth of their attacking options.
Norway, meanwhile, progressed thanks to a dramatic 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive late goal. Fredrik Aursnes could return to the starting XI, while the rest of the squad is fully fit. Norway have won six of their last ten matches, averaging 2.3 goals scored, but they have also conceded 1.4 goals per game. Their matches have been highly entertaining, with both teams scoring in 90% of their last ten outings, while they average 3.7 total goals per match.
As the Selecao possess greater quality and experience in key moments, we are tempted to bet on Home Win. Additionally, Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals bets boast big value as both teams average over 3.3 total goals per match in recent form.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 5 July 2026 at 21:00.
