Norway vs France Preview and Team News
Norway Team News
Norway have won both of their matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and currently sit second in Group I. They have already secured their place in the Round of 32.
The Vikings’ most recent result was a 3-2 victory over Senegal. Star striker Erling Haaland continued in his rich vein of form by finding the back of the net twice. He is now third in the tournament’s scoring charts with four goals, trailing only Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
Martin Odegaard stood out with an assist and an 80% passing accuracy. The Arsenal captain operated on the right side of Norway’s midfield, allowing Sander Berge to take centre stage. The Fulham midfielder delivered an outstanding performance, completing all of his long-ball attempts and 89% of his passes.
Julian Ryerson remains a doubt due to a thigh injury.
Norway predicted lineup vs France (4-3-3): Nyland; Wolfe, Heggem, Ajer, Pedersen; Aursnes, Berge, Odegaard; Nusa, Haaland, Sorloth.
France Team News
France, like Norway, have won both of their games and have already qualified for the knockout stage. They currently sit first in the group table thanks to a superior goal difference. Les Bleus delivered a dominating performance against Iraq, scoring three goals and keeping a clean sheet.
Kylian Mbappe recorded a brace, but it was France’s 90% passing accuracy that gave them so much control in midfield.
Their attackers – Mbappe included – were in a particularly good mood as they registered 19 shots and generated an impressive xG of 2.67. The team created five big chances and recorded 41 touches inside the Iraq box, constantly threatening their opponents.
The French have no injury concerns, giving head coach Didier Deschamps plenty of options as he prepares for the knockout rounds.
France predicted lineup vs Norway (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Digne, Saliba, Upamecano, Kounde; Kante, Tchouameni; Barcola, Olise, Dembele; Mbappe.
Norway vs France Prediction
- Pick: France to win
- Odds: -161 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Norway 2-3 France
France, ranked third in the FIFA rankings, are widely expected to come out on top. They won the World Cup in 2018 and were runners-up in 2022. Les Bleus, managed by the indefatigable Deschamps, are one of the most attractive sides to watch at this tournament. They have already scored six goals through their first two matches.
Norway, ranked 31st by FIFA, have a talented squad, but France are more experienced, having already won this tournament twice (1998, 2018). The Vikings, meanwhile, have qualified for their first World Cup since 1998, when they reached the Round of 16.
Norway vs France Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -145 (20Bet)
Both teams have more than enough firepower to find the back of the net. While Les Bleus have scored six goals, Norway have been even more prolific with seven. Much of the spotlight will fall on Mbappe and Haaland, who have each scored four goals.
Alexander Sorloth will play second fiddle for the Vikings, having scored 20 goals for Atletico Madrid in the 2025-26 season. The French, meanwhile, have Michael Olise to fall back on. The Bayern Munich man has already bagged three assists this tournament.
