Overview
- The last-16 match between Brazil and Norway is set for Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
- Norway arrive with momentum after beating Ivory Coast in the round of 32 to register their first World Cup knockout win and they have won 17 of their last 20 matches under Ståle Solbakken.
- Erling Haaland is Norway's key threat after scoring a late winner in the round of 32 and Norway will try to use his form to unsettle Brazil's defence.
- Brazil remain favourites but face a selection puzzle after Lucas Paquetá suffered a hamstring problem while Raphinha has returned to training and Neymar is reported fit.
- The tie echoes a 1998 meeting when Kjetil Rekdal scored a late penalty in Marseille and pundits say that history and Norway's recent development work add a psychological dimension that could shape the outcome.
