Main Match Prediction

There could be a few goals scored during this World Cup match. That leads us to back the Over 2.5 Goals selection with a fair degree of confidence, with the betting odds of -167 looking like excellent value.

The first port of call is to check out the World Cup injury and suspension news for each side and then scroll through the form guide. We take this information and apply it to the latest available stats to come up with a verdict.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction:

• The 2.5 line has been covered in the last 6 Norway games.
• The 2.5 line has been covered in 9 of the last 10 Norway games.
• The 2.5 line has been covered in 17 of the last 20 Norway games.
• The 2.5 line has been covered in the last 7 France games.
• The 2.5 line has been covered in 8 of the last 10 France games.
• The 2.5 line has been covered in 13 of the last 20 France games.

The best betting apps make it a 62.5% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our experts have this number between 65-70% based on their in-depth research. It’s why we think it’s worth placing this bet.

There are some great alternatives available and the BTTS Yes option on the Both Teams to Score market could be the attractive option for those anticipating that both sides will find the net. It doesn’t matter how many goals there are in total.
