Brazil vs Norway: Preview
Brazil enter the round of 16 as favorites after defeating Japan in the previous round, while Carlo Ancelotti’s side are among the leading candidates for a record-extending sixth World Cup title. However, it does not seem possible for the Selecao to have an easy time against the Norwegian team, one of the biggest surprise packages of the tournament.
Norway took its place in the knockout round by eliminating Ivory Coast and impressed with its disciplined defense and fast counter-attacking game. While Brazil will look to control the ball and make the most of their attacking firepower, Norway will be hoping their defensive organization and ability to strike on the break will cause another upset.
Mexico v England: Preview
Hosts Mexico will face England at the iconic Estadio Azteca and face one of the toughest tests of the tournament. El Tri secured their place in the Last 16 with a win over Ecuador and are hoping their home support will take them into the last eight.
England, meanwhile, advanced after defeating DR Congo and will be keen to stop Mexico’s impressive run. This match promises to be one of the most interesting matches of the Round of 16, as both sides have plenty of attacking talent but contrasting playing styles.
