Cote d’Ivoire vs Norway Preview

Two sides who have enjoyed very decent group campaigns at the 2026 FIFA World Cup meet here, as Cote d’Ivoire take on Norway.

For Cote d’Ivoire, many people gave them very little hope of qualifying ahead of Ecuador, but they managed to do just that and push group leaders Germany all the way.

Norway were in a similar boat, finishing second behind France in their pool but dispatching of Senegal and Iraq with relative comfort.

Consequently, these two meet in a game that has a spot in the last 16 as the carrot and the atmosphere should be electric in Dallas.

This will be relatively unchartered territory for both sides and unmissable drama beckons.

Here is a look ahead to Cote d’Ivoire vs Norway:

Despite being pumped by France last time out with a rotated squad, there is some real momentum building behind this Norwegian World Cup run.

Wins over Senegal and Iraq demonstrated the attacking potential Norway have and they will strike fear into any opposition outfit.

Erling Haaland is always the focal point and the Manchester City striker will be looking to add to his goal tally of four for the tournament.

He is helped by the likes of Martin Odegaard and Antonio Nusa and Norway look decent value to have plenty of the ball and win this one in Dallas.

Cote d’Ivoire will look to play on the break and have plenty of threats of their own but smart money feels as if it is on the Norwegians.

For all the plaudits being levelled at Norway in this World Cup, they have conceded seven goals across their three games played.

With some defensive frailties, Cote d’Ivoire will be desperate to exploit them, and they have plenty of pace in forward areas to do just that.

As they did in qualifying, Norway will back themselves to outscore anybody with Haaland up top and this could be a goal fest.

Best Value Bet

Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals in the game@ $4.50

Bet Now

With four goals from his two games played, Erling Haaland has continued his remarkable goal scoring record for his country.

As prolific as Haaland is for Manchester City, this Norwegian side are completely setup to play to his strengths, and he continues to be deadly in front of goal.

One or two half chances is all he needs to strike and with confidence high in the camp, Haaland looks great value to net a couple here against Cote d’Ivoire.
