Team news

Brazil have Raphina ruled out, while Casemiro and Lucas Paqueta are doubts for the game.

For Norway, Julian Ryerson is a concern.

Predicted line-ups

Brazil (4-3-3): Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos; Guimaraes, Casemiro, Danilo Santos; Rayan, Cunha, Vini Jr. 

Norway (4-3-3): Nyland; Pedersen, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Odegaard, Berge, Berg; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa.

Recent form

Brazil have had a mixed tournament thus far, with impressive wins over Haiti and Scotland, but they have struggled against Morocco and Japan. They beat Japan with a last-minute winner, and this will be another stern test.

Norway have been brilliant to this point. They have impressively won against Iran and Senegal, and are close to making history. They have never reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in their history.

What’s been said?

Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti: “Neymar can play 90 minutes… and he can play with Vinicius Jr. I think they will play together.”

“I don’t think that there is such a thing as an ‘anti-Haaland’ plan. I don’t need to tell my players how to defend, they have faced each other a few times.”

Norway manager Stale Solbakken: “We need to play the match, not the circumstances. We need to make sure that we don’t play according to the occasion, but that we simply play the match.

“Obviously, Brazil is the favourite, but I also said that I don’t think they are big favourites, which they maybe had been some years ago, or two, three, four years ago.

“Now we have had a very good run for a very long time, and we have great confidence.”
