The knockout rounds have no safety net, and Sunday night hands us a heavyweight opener at MetLife Stadium. Brazil arrive as favourites after grinding past Japan, but Norway are through to the last 16 for the first time in their history on the back of Erling Haaland's late winner over Ivory Coast. This is power versus flair, and both sides carry a genuine goal threat. Matchups like this are why BettingTop10s keeps close tabs on form heading into every knockout round.

Our lead angle leans into that threat: with Brazil having leaked a goal to Japan and Haaland in ruthless form, Both Teams To Score Yes looks the smart play at 1xBet. That pick anchors a three-leg Best Combo running at 6.97, blending this BTTS call with a value side in Mexico vs England and an Under in USA vs Belgium. All odds below are from 1xBet. It's another chapter in our World Cup breakdown of the knockout stage, and the same read on form drives our other betting tips across the rest of the calendar.

Top Picks for World Cup Day 25 | July 5

Brazil vs Norway

Both Teams To Score - Yes (1.65)

The BTTS Yes market is the pick here because both defences have shown cracks: Brazil conceded to Japan in their last outing and Norway have Haaland, who has scored in the knockout round and rarely goes quiet against high defensive lines. Brazil are strong favourites at 1.94 to win, but backing them on the moneyline offers thin value when the more reliable pattern is goals at both ends. If you want the win side too, Brazil -1.0 on the Asian Handicap pays 2.56.

🗸 Long Shot: Correct Score 2-1 Brazil @ 8.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.79
