Norway vs Senegal Preview

Following mixed results for these two teams in their opening games, both Norway and Senegal are chasing points for different reasons here.

Inspired by Erling Haaland, Norway were totally dominant against Iraq, with the Manchester City forward bagging twice on his World Cup bow.

Senegal meanwhile showed real industry and heart against France but ultimately came up short against les blues.

As a result, Norway know that a win here would see them through to the knockout rounds, while Senegal know a loss would see them all-but out of the tournament.

This will be a real clash of footballing ideologies and here is a look ahead to Norway vs Senegal:

There is real momentum behind this Norwegian side at the moment, who have some stellar players in their ranks.

Erling Haaland remains the headline act but he, along with the likes of Martin Odegaard and Antonio Nusa, have the ability to break down any defence.

In beating Iraq, they picked up their first World Cup win in 28 years, and they look ready to seize their chance on the biggest stage of all.

Senegal won’t make this easy for them, having troubled France for long periods in their opening game, before coming up short in the end.

They have plenty of attacking talents of their own and if they can get the ball into their attacking players, they will cause Norway plenty of problems.

However, this Norwegian outfit were unbeaten in qualifying and look to have taken that form into the tournament proper, making them very good value to win this one in New York.

The stage looks to be set for a very entertaining clash here, as Norway look to carry their excellent recent form into this one.

Senegal will have to show plenty of attacking intent in order to win the game and to give themselves any hope of progressing to the knockout rounds.

Consequently, this could be an open game, with both teams playing on the front foot and Norway look well placed to win this entertaining fixture.

Best Value Bet

Erling Haaland to score first @ $4.00

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland simply loves the biggest stages and his record for his country surpasses that of his club.

He averages better than a goal a game for his country and the whole Norwegian team is set up to play to his strengths.

With pace to burn, Haaland will trouble Senegal’s defence, just like Kylian Mbappe did for France and he’ll get plenty of chances.

If the first one comes his way, Haaland looks very good value to open the scoring and get Norway on their way again in this one.
