Confirmed Lineups
Norway confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland (GK), Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer, Torbjoern Lysaker Heggem, David Moeller Wolfe, Martin Oedegaard, Sander Berge, Fredrik Aursnes, Alexander Soerloth, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa.

Main Match Prediction
The Group I clash provides us with a value opportunity on the basis that we can bet on Over 2.5 Goals at odds of -111. Expect the sides to grab the goals needed for a payout.
Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Norway's last seven matches overall and in five straight competitive fixtures. The Norwegians were prolific in qualifying, scoring 37 goals in just eight games and boast tremendous attacking talent in Martin Odegaard, Alexander Sorloth and Erling Haaland.
Senegal also possess plenty of quality in forward areas and are often involved in entertaining contests. Three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals and with both sides carrying significant attacking threat, we believe that an Over bet on the Total Goals market offers good value.
