Norway vs France Preview

A pair of sides that have already qualified for the last 32 meet here, as Norway and France square off in what could be one of the games of the tournament thus far.

The intriguing battle of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland is merely a fascinating sub plot, to a game that will directly impact on who finishes top of Group I.

France have been dominant thus far in the tournament, dispatching of Iraq and Senegal with relative ease, with Mbappe at the heart of their threat - scoring four times across the two games.

Norway also made light work of the two aforementioned sides, with Haaland also helping himself to four goals along the way.

With both sides assured of a place in the knockouts, this could be a chance for managers to rotate but the carrot of topping the pool is sure to be a real incentive.

Here is look ahead to Norway vs France:

For France, the weight of expectation in every World Cup match is huge but this is one game that can play with more freedom in.

It took them a while to get going against Senegal, but they turned on the style to win, whilst against Iraq they looked closer to their full playing potential.

Here against Norway, Didier Deschamps could use the full realm of his incredible squad and give minutes to players on the fringes.

Les blues have an incredible pool of players to pick from and those not in the team will be desperate to come in and showcase what they can do.

Norway are in the same position, with qualification assured but their strength in depth simply doesn’t compare to France and they may end up being undone in key areas.

Group I was always going to be a battle between these two European giants for top spot and so it has proved.

Consequently, they both know that a win here would see them top the group, while a draw would see France finish in first place, by virtue of their superior goal difference

With that in mind, all the ownness will be on Norway to come out and play, something that is dangerous against his rapid French side.

Goals should be on the agenda and France look good value to come out on the right side of it.

Best Value Bet

Erling Haaland & Kylian Mbappe to both score anytime @ $2.50

While the odds for two goalscorers in the same game are very short, betting against this pair feels foolish.

There may be a question mark about whether they start the game from a squad rotation perspective, but both players are in the hunt for the Golden Boot.

Both Haaland and Mbappe have incredible goal records for their respective countries, and they could extend them here.
