Confirmed Today: Raphinha's Role Clarified

Carlo Ancelotti confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Raphinha has recovered faster than expected from his hamstring injury and is available — but the plan is to start him on the bench and introduce him for a limited number of minutes to protect his recovery for later rounds. Casemiro has passed a late fitness test and is confirmed starting. The only bad news: Lucas Paquetá is officially ruled out for the remainder of the tournament with a Grade II thigh strain, expected to sideline him roughly three weeks.

⭐ Best Bets — FanDuel

⭐ Best Bet #1 · Anchor Play

Brazil To Advance

Shortened further with Casemiro confirmed fit and Raphinha adding a fresh-legs impact option late · Covers 90 min, ET and penalties

-280

$28→$10 profit

⭐ Best Bet #2 · Board's Actual Shortest Price

Erling Haaland — Anytime Goalscorer

Now the shortest anytime price on the entire board, even ahead of Vinícius Jr — scored in every match he's started this tournament

+125

$10→$22.50

⭐ Best Bet #3 · Confirmed Starter, Due To Bounce Back

Vinícius Júnior — Anytime Goalscorer

Right behind Haaland — confirmed starting with Brazil's attack now leaning on him even more given Raphinha's limited role

+130

$10→$23

⭐ Best Bet #4 · Two Elite Attacks, Now Even Shorter

Both Teams to Score — Yes

Shortened from -166 to -180 — neither defense is watertight, and both sides carry proven individual scoring threats

-180

$18→$10 profit

⭐ Best Bet #5 · Backed By Both Attacks' Form

Over 2.5 Total Goals

Norway have scored freely all tournament, and Brazil's attack is expected to lean more direct with Paquetá out and Raphinha limited

-152

$15.20→$10 profit

🎯 Same-Game Parlay Idea · FanDuel

Brazil to advance + Both Teams to Score Yes + Vinícius Júnior anytime goal

Builds on Brazil's growing favorite status, both sides' attacking upside, and Vinícius' central role in a now-thinner Brazil attack. Check FanDuel for current SGP pricing. "To Advance" covers 90 min, ET and penalties.

⚠️ SGPs are high-risk. Must be 21+. Gambling problem? 1-800-GAMBLER.

🏆 Our Prediction · Brazil vs Norway · World Cup R16 · Today

Brazil 2–1 Norway

Vinícius Jr and Cunha get Brazil home, Haaland answers as he has in every start, and a late Raphinha cameo helps close it out.

Confidence

MEDIUM

Casemiro's fitness clearance and Raphinha's return give Brazil a bit more control than our last look suggested, but this remains one of the round's tightest contests — Norway's unbeaten history against Brazil and Haaland's perfect scoring record when starting keep the door open for another twist.
