Vini is the man creative man for Brazil. Expect him to get in the box plenty of times today.

Norway play a very attacking style, and I expect Brazil to create more than enough chances against them. While I really like Norway's offense, their defense is far from convincing, and their lack of clean sheets reflects that. They have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Simply put, they lack pace at the back, and Vinícius Júnior should exploit that on the counter if Norway commits too many players forward. So far at the World Cup, Vinícius has recorded over 1.5 shots on target in three of four matches. The only exception came against Morocco, when he had one shot on target while being marked by Hakimi. This should be a much more favorable matchup. Julian Ryerson is Norway's first-choice right-back, but he missed the last two games and remains questionable. Even if he returns, he is unlikely to be at his best. I also like this bet because Norway defends crosses well, so I don't expect Brazil to rely heavily on them. That should naturally lead to more shots on goal from open play, and with Raphinha (likely) unavailable at least the first half, I expect Vinícius Júnior to be Brazil's primary shooting threat.
