Brazil vs Norway - World Cup 2026 Betting Tips (05/07/2026)

Brazil and Norway are set to battle it out for a place in the quarter-final of World Cup 2026 when they meet in New Jersey. Brazil are 1.85 favourites with bet365 to come out on top. Norway can be backed at 4.10 with the draw priced at 3.60.

We think this game can be a high-scoring affair based on what we have seen from both teams so far this tournament. Brazil have become a much more fluid attacking force since settling on Matheus Cunha as their central striker. Norway have been able to create chances for star man Erling Haaland to fire them this far into the competition.

• Brazil and Norway have scored in every game of the World Cup so far.

• Haaland (5) and Vinicius Jr (4) are both in the race for the World Cup golden boot award.

Brazil vs Norway - Team News

Brazil have done well since putting Cunha as the central striker but a system change was needed at half time against Japan. The decision will be if to bring Endrick into the starting IX or if to keep him and Martinelli as impact from the bench.

Norway don't have any major injury issues but could hand Fredrik Aursnes a return to the starting line-up after he missed out in the previous game to Marcus Holmgren Pedersen. However, Aursnes had a good impact from the bench and could return for this crucial clash. Nusa was excellent against Ivory Coast and it is likely they stick with him and Sørloth supporting Haaland even though Andreas Schjelderup is pushing hard after his impact from the bench.

Brazil: Alisson - Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Santos - Casemiro, Guimarães, Paquetá - Rayan, Cunha, Vinícius Jr.
