Brazil vs Norway preview: Sky Bet's key markets for Sunday's blockbuster Round of 16 clash

One of the standout last-16 ties on paper at the 2026 World Cup sees Brazil take on Norway at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

Both sides have impressed across this tournament to date. Brazil remain unbeaten through four matches, while Norway’s only defeat came against tournament favourites France in the group stage – a game in which they were without star striker Erling Haaland.

Each nation also left it late to book their place in the last 16. Brazil came from 1-0 down to beat Japan 2-1, with the winner arriving in the 96th minute, while Haaland struck in the 86th minute as Norway edged past Ivory Coast 2-1.

Brazil head into Sunday’s clash as favourites, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side priced at 3/4, while Norway are 17/5 outsiders to spring an upset.

Alongside the standard match odds, Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts for the contest. The first two see Haaland to score anytime (including extra time) boosted to 13/8, while Vinicius Jr. is 6/4 to register two or more shots on target (including extra time).

Haaland has already scored five goals at this World Cup, while Vinicius Jr. has found the net four times, including a brace against Scotland in the group stage.

The other two Price Boosts see Casemiro to be shown a card (including extra time) enhanced to 5/2, while Vinicius Jr. is 10/1 to score two or more goals (including extra time). Casemiro has already picked up two yellow cards at this World Cup.
