Brazil Vs. Norway Best Bets: Erling Haaland vs. Vinicius Junior
  • Brazil is favored to advance vs. Norway with -235 odds.
  • There is a 2.5-goal total in regulation time.
  • Erling Haaland and Vinicius Junior top the anytime goal scorer odds.

NEW YORK – A powerhouse matchup is set in the Round of 16 between Brazil and Norway from MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey. This has all the makings of an all-time classic between two of the game’s greats.

Where things sit on legal sports betting sites, Brazil is favored to advance and slightly favored to win in regulation. The biggest edge on the gameline that we see is the 2.5 goal total.

Note: Gamelines on World Cup betting sites only count towards the 90 minutes of regulation time and any extra stoppage time. They do not include the two 15-minute overtime periods or penalty shootouts.

Brazil Vs. Norway Betting Lines

  • To Advance: Brazil (-235) vs. Norway (+190)
  • Reg. Moneyline: Brazil (-114) vs. Norway (+310), Draw (+270)
  • Reg. Spread: Brazil -0.5 (-118)
  • Reg. Total: 2.5 Goals

Everything about this match screams over 2.5 goals. Norway has gone over in all four of its World Cup matches to this point, including three games that have reached five total goals. Brazil has gone over in three of its four matches, all of which have come in its last three outings.

On paper, the match stats support the over as well, with a combined 4.75 average goals between the two, a combined 2.5 average goals conceded, six average goals expected, and 2.22 average goals conceded. On the Norway side, they also post just a 58% save percentage.

Soccer betting sites are leaning towards the over with -132 odds, and so are we. Expect a high-octane shootout here.

Haaland Vs. Vini Jr. Anytime Goalscorer Odds

  • Erling Haaland +140
  • Vinicius Junior +155

One simply cannot ignore a goal from Erling Haaland or Vinicius Junior. These are two of the top scorers in the 2026 World Cup with Haaland posting five and Vini Jr. with four. The fact that both of them are posting plus money odds to score is incredible.

Haaland scored a brace in his first two matches, failed to score against France to finish the group stage, and got back on the board in the Round of 16 against the Ivory Coast. Vini Jr. scored in all but one game, which includes every group stage match.
