Main Match Prediction
There’s a strong chance that we’ll see Norway record a victory and they are priced at -100 to win this Round of 32 clash. We think that the latest odds offer bettors plenty of value.
Two strong teams meet in this knockout clash, but we fancy Norway to come out on top. The Norwegians rested 10 players in their defeat to France, but excluding that result, they have won 12 straight competitive matches while averaging over four goals per game.
With attacking options such as Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sorloth and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, Norway will be difficult to stop.
