Brazil News:
Heading into Sunday's last-16 match in New Jersey, Brazil will be aware of their winless record against this weekend's opponents, whom they have not defeated in four previous encounters. The most high-profile meeting happened at Stade Velodrome just over 28 years ago, when the South American heavyweights surrendered a 1-0 lead to lose late on, even if that result comes with the caveat of the Selecao having sealed their place as Group A winners before that third fixture.Fast forward to 2026, and the five-time world champions have still yet to beat Norway, with whom they played out a 1-1 draw in a friendly match in 2006. Kaishu Sano put the Blue Samurai 1-0 up on the half-hour mark, but the Italian effectively threw caution to the wind after the break by switching to a 4-2-4 system following Endrick's introduction,That decision ultimately profited them, with Casemiro heading home before the hour and Gabriel Martinelli breaking Japanese hearts by snatching a winner in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.
With Raphinha already ruled out, Brazil are sweating over the fitness of Lucas Paqueta and Casemiro, with the former withdrawn at half-time against Japan and Casemiro taken off just before Martinelli's winner.While many believe the former Real Madrid man will play, Paqueta is likely to be replaced by Danilo Santos in midfield.Although Matheus Cunha could not add to his three goals before going off after 65 minutes, the Manchester United forward should retain his place in the XI, keeping Martinelli out of the side.
Ancelotti is likely to keep the 4-3-3 for Sunday's last-16 match, avoiding the temptation of going gung-ho from the start by utilising Endrick from the off.Vinicius Junior has had a storming World Cup for the Selecao, scoring four and setting up one, and the wide attacker will look to add to his five direct involvements.
Norway News:
Only nine of the current Norway group had been born when the Vikings stunned Brazil in Marseille years ago, with goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, 35, probably the only one with abiding memories of the 2-1 turnaround.Although their opponents this weekend remain a vaunted side, they are no longer the force they were 28 years ago.That single fact should boost confidence in the group ahead of facing the Selecao, who have blown hot and cold in North America.Norway, for their part, have embraced outscoring their opponents in the 2026 finals, with the European outfit scoring and conceding in every game since their return to the tournament.Stale Solbakken's men, though, have won every match with the exception of the clash against France to close out Group I, when a second-string side were emphatically beaten 4-1 by the pre-tournament favourites.
Julian Ryerson has not played for Norway since going off injured after 13 minutes against Senegal, even if he is said to be close to a return from the thigh issue which has kept him out against France and the Ivory Coast.Further forward, Haaland has netted five goals on his World Cup debut, leaving him one strike behind Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.Haaland's tally accounts for 50% of the Vikings' 10 goals, with four players netting one each and Solbakken's side benefitting from an own goal.Martin Odegaard and Patrick Berg, though, have assisted three and two for the Norwegians, highlighting their roles as facilitators for Landslaget.
