AI verdict
Brazil edge Norway in tight knockout clash despite key absences affecting both sides.
- Brazil's superior FIFA ranking (6 vs 31) and tournament pedigree favor them in knockout football
- Both teams show strong recent form (11 and 12 points from last 5), but Brazil concede fewer goals (3 vs 9)
- Market heavily backs Brazil at 51.5% despite missing Raphinha, Paqueta, and possibly Casemiro
Risk- Brazil's midfield weakened significantly without Paqueta and potentially Casemiro
- Norway's attacking form is excellent (14 goals in 5 matches) and could exploit defensive gaps
