One of the most anticipated matches in the World Cup Round of 16 is set to kick off in a few hours.
Brazil, currently ranked 5th by FIFA, will take on Norway, which holds the 21st spot, vying for a place in the quarterfinals.
In their previous match during the Round of 32, Brazil played against Japan and secured a dramatic 2-1 victory with a last-minute goal from Gabriel Martinelli.
Meanwhile, Norway faced Ivory Coast in their Round of 32 matchup. After starting from the bench in their last group stage game, they rallied strongly. Star player Erling Haaland scored one goal, contributing to their 2-1 win.
