Brazil vs Norway: Pre-Match Opta Facts
- This will be the fifth meeting between Brazil and Norway in all competitions, and second at the FIFA World Cup, after a 2-1 Norway win in 1998. Indeed, the Vikings are unbeaten in all four previous games between the sides (W2 D2).
- Since beating Germany in the 2002 final, Brazil have been eliminated from/lost each of their six FIFA World Cup knockout ties against European opponents, going down to France (2006 quarter-finals), Netherlands (2010 quarter-finals), Germany (2014 semi-finals), Netherlands (2014 third-place play-off), Belgium (2018 quarter-finals), and Croatia (2022 quarter-finals).
- 2This will be Norway’s second knockout game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup; they had only played two knockout matches in major tournaments (World Cup/UEFA EURO) in their history before this year, losing round of 16 World Cup ties in 1938 and 1998, both to Italy. Indeed, 50% of Norway’s major tournament matches won overall have come in 2026 (3/6).
- Norway’s Erling Haaland could become just the eighth European player to score in each of his first four FIFA World Cup appearances, and first since Christian Vieiri for Italy in 1998. Haaland has scored in each of his last 13 competitive internationals overall, netting 25 goals in this run.
- Brazil are averaging 15.0 shots-per-game at this year’s FIFA World Cup (60 shots in 4 games), their second-lowest on record (from 1966) at a single edition, ahead of only 1998 (14.4). However, their xG-per-shot is their highest on record in this time (0.16), suggesting the average quality of their chances is higher.
- Bruno Guimarães has provided four assists at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including one for Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage time winner against Japan. It’s the joint-second most on record (since 1966) for a Brazil player at a single edition at the tournament (along with Zico in 1982 and Tostão in 1970), with only Pelé recording more (6 in 1970).
