Brazil vs Norway Preview & Predictions
Brazil arrive as one of the favourites for the title. Under Carlo Ancelotti, the Seleção blend their traditional flair with greater structure, and boast a frightening array of attacking talent including Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Raphinha. They had to come from behind to beat Japan 2–1 in the Round of 32, a reminder that even the contenders can be made to work for it.
Norway are the story of the tournament. Back at a World Cup for the first time since 1998, Ståle Solbakken's side have ridden the goals of Erling Haaland and the craft of captain Martin Ødegaard to the last 16, beating Ivory Coast 2–1 — with Haaland grabbing a late winner — to claim their first-ever World Cup knockout victory. They will travel to New Jersey with nothing to fear.
Brazil are clear favourites, with the deeper squad, the bigger-game experience and the quality to hurt any defence. But Norway have two genuinely world-class match-winners and the belief of a side living a dream. If Haaland and Ødegaard click, the Seleção could be in for a serious test on the road to the quarter-finals.
Key Players to Watch
Brazil's threat comes from all over the pitch, led by Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior, whose pace and directness terrify defenders. Rodrygo and Raphinha add more attacking quality, Bruno Guimarães and Casemiro provide control and steel in midfield, and captain Marquinhos marshals the defence in front of the reliable Alisson.
Norway revolve around two superstars. Erling Haaland is among the most lethal strikers on the planet and has been in red-hot form, while captain Martin Ødegaard pulls the strings and supplies the ammunition. Around them, Antonio Nusa offers pace and a goal threat, Alexander Sørloth provides a physical focal point, and Sander Berge anchors the midfield.
New York New Jersey Stadium – Match Venue
New York New Jersey Stadium, officially MetLife Stadium, will host this Round of 16 tie on 5 July.

Set in the Meadowlands Sports Complex just west of Manhattan, it is one of the marquee stadiums of the whole event.
With its huge capacity and big-stage pedigree, the venue is built for occasions like this. A large, vocal crowd is guaranteed, with Brazil's vast and colourful support sure to be joined by Norway's now-famous travelling fans, promising a spectacular atmosphere for a heavyweight knockout tie.
How to Get to New York New Jersey Stadium for This Match

There is also extensive parking for those driving via the New Jersey Turnpike. Newark Liberty International Airport is around 15 km to the south.
Given the volume of fans heading to such a large venue, public transport is strongly recommended, and it's wise to leave plenty of time for travel and matchday security checks. Plan your return journey in advance, as services can be busy after the final whistle.

Road to the Round of 16: Brazil & Norway
Both teams reached the last 16 the hard way. Brazil fell behind to Japan in the Round of 32 before fighting back to win 2–1, Carlo Ancelotti's side showing their resolve to avoid an upset and stay on course in their bid for a sixth world title.
Norway, meanwhile, made history. Back at a World Cup after 28 years away, they beat Ivory Coast 2–1, with Antonio Nusa opening the scoring and Erling Haaland striking late to seal the country's first-ever World Cup knockout win and a dream tie with Brazil.
It is a mouth-watering clash of pedigree and momentum. Brazil have the star power and tournament know-how to start as strong favourites, but Norway have two of the best players in the world and the fearlessness of a team enjoying the ride — and they will fancy their chances of another famous night in New Jersey.
