Brazil team news, focus
It is all about getting the balance right for Brazil and they’ve been getting a bit better at that as the tournament goes on. Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes are making key contributions in midfield but the former is struggling with an injury and Lucas Paqueta is also a doubt. That means Fabinho is primed to come in to the starting lineup. With Raphinha out injured, Vinicius Junior and Matheus Cunha are a real handful in attack and leading Brazil’s charge. Ancelotti has also made great decisions off the bench in recent games as Endrick and Martinelli are pushing for starts.
Norway team news, focus
Stale Solbakken was justified in his decision to rest his starters against France as Norway beat a dangerous Ivory Coast team to set up this wonderful last 16 encounter. Erling Haaland looks sharp, while Antonio Nusa is a huge talent and scored a beauty in the last round. Martin Odegaard will look to dictate the tempo of the game in midfield and Norway know if they can keep it tight, Haaland will usually pop up with a big goal.
Brazil vs Norway prediction
This has the strong whiff of extra time and penalty kicks about it. Brazil will just about get the job done on the counter, but it won’t be straightforward. Brazil 2-1 Norway (AET).
