Norway Team News & Stats
Haaland and the boys steamrolled Iraq, winning 4-1 with City’s star scoring a brace inside the opening 45 minutes. It was clear which team was better here, and even though Iraq had a couple of sparks, it’s evident that Norway sits at least two classes above its previous rivals.
Norway plays efficient football, and 8 of the last 10 matches have seen over 2.5 goals. The same number of games have seen both teams score, and Stale Solbakken’s guys netted twice or more on 6 occasions.
Likely Lineup: Nyland; Ryerson, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Odegaard, Berge, Aursnes; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa
Senegal Team News & Stats
Lions of Teranga lost to France, though they had their chances to make this one end differently. And that especially goes for the opening half when Senegal looked better than their rivals.
It was 3-1 for the Gauls, and this is the second time in the past three games that Senegal has allowed three goals. This team wants to play football and compete with its rivals, which is why 4 of the last 6 games have featured at least 3 goals.
Likely Lineup: Mendy; Diatta, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Diouf; Camara, P. Gueye; Sarr, Diarra, Mane; Jackson
Head to Head
In 2006, these two sides played a friendly game which saw Senegal winning 2-1.
Norway vs. Senegal World Cup Predictions
In our opinion, this should be one of the most interesting games of the whole championship so far. These two teams play open, offensive-minded football, which is why both teams to score and over 2.5 goals stand as our top bet.
