Website points out that Norway has the biggest chance of an upset in the round of 16 of the World Cup

The website The Athletic, the sports arm of the newspaper The New York Times, pointed out that Norway has the greatest chance of being the "zebra" of the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The analysis was carried out by journalists from the American outlet.

The team led by Erling Haaland faces Brazil, this Sunday (5), at 5pm (Brasília time), at MetLife Stadium.

Seven of the 13 journalists who participated in the analysis pointed to the confrontation between Brazil and Norway as the duel with the greatest probability of surprises in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The main arguments are based on the good moment that the Norwegians are going through, in addition to the irregular performances of the Seleção and the presence of striker Erling Haaland, who has already found the net five times in this World Cup.
