Brazil vs Norway
Likely line-up
📖 The Preview
Brazil are slight favourites here and it's not hard to see why — they carry more firepower and at a World Cup level, that quality tends to tell. Norway will make this competitive though, and with both teams expected to score, this isn't a case of Brazil simply shutting up shop. The most likely story is Brazil edging ahead, Norway pulling one back to make it nervy, but Brazil ultimately holding on. At 54% win probability, it's not a foregone conclusion, but the Brazilians have enough to see it through 2-1.
