Brazil has faced Norway four times in history and carries an uncomfortable taboo: they have never beaten the Norwegians.
The probable lineup for Brazil to face Norway in the World Cup Round of 16 is:
- Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Douglas Santos;
- Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, and Danilo Santos (Gabriel Martinelli);
- Rayan, Matheus Cunha, and Vini Jr.
- The team is coached by Carlo Ancelotti.
The Brazilian lineup features a mandatory change: midfielder Lucas Paquetá is injured and will be replaced by Danilo Santos (with Gabriel Martinelli also a strong outside contender for a midfield option).
For Norway, coach Ståle Solbakken is expected to field the core team led by striker Erling Haaland:
- Nyland; Pedersen, Ajer, Heggem, and Wolfe;
- Berg, Odegaard, and Berge;
- Sorloth, Haaland, and Nusa.
The knockout match takes place this Sunday, at 5 p.m. BRT (Brasília Time).
