Brazil vs Norway

This data set is fairly complete, but recent form and confirmed lineups are unavailable, so the assessment has to stay cautious. The season record shows Brazil at 11 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses from 20 matches, while Norway are listed at 15 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses from 20, which looks slightly better for Norway on raw numbers. Even so, the current 1X2 market prices Brazil at 1.86 versus 4.10 for Norway, and the handicap is Brazil -0.5, indicating that the market still gives more weight to Brazil. The available head-to-head sample is only one match and it ended 1-1, so it has limited value for confirming a trend. Putting the available data together, the safer view is that Brazil have the better chance to win, but the gap is not wide, and a low-scoring result such as 1-0 fits the evidence on hand.
