Notably, both Morocco and Japan managed to score against them, showing that Brazil have not looked quite as secure defensively when facing stronger attacking sides.

Norway have built their FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament on attacking football.

They beat Iraq 4-1, defeated Senegal 3-2 and eliminated Ivory Coast with a 2-1 victory in the Round of 32.

Even during their 4-1 defeat against France, they still found the net, extending a run of four consecutive matches with at least one goal scored.

At the other end of the pitch, however, Norway have struggled for the same level of consistency.

They have conceded against France, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Morocco, which has often forced them into open, high-scoring matches.

Brazil possess more quality across the pitch and should have enough to reach the quarter-finals, but Norway have already shown they can score against elite opposition.

Considering the attacking trends both teams have produced throughout the tournament, Both Teams To Score stands out as the strongest value in this Round of 16 meeting.
