Norway vs Senegal Moneyline Prediction

Norway opened their World Cup campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Iraq. Senegal, meanwhile, enter this match under pressure after a 3-1 defeat to France. While the scoreline was respectable against one of the tournament favourites, the Lions of Teranga struggled to contain France’s elite attackers.

France repeatedly exposed Senegal with runs behind the back line and quick attacks, and Norway possess many of the same qualities.

The Europeans also have the confidence that comes with an opening victory, while manager Ståle Solbakken was able to manage his squad’s workload effectively.

Senegal remain a tough team to break down, but Norway appear to be in better form and have already built momentum with a crucial opening victory. Expect the European side to control much of the match and come away with all three points.

Norway vs Senegal Player Prop

Erling Haaland scored twice in Norway’s opener against Iraq. He also arrives in outstanding form after a dominant qualifying campaign in which he recorded 16 goals, 10.75 xG, 41 shots, and 28 shots on target.

Senegal struggled to contain Kylian Mbappe with his explosive runs into central areas. Haaland is equally capable of exploiting those spaces.

With Martin Ødegaard supplying crosses, cut-backs, and through balls, Norway’s star striker should receive plenty of quality service.

Haaland played 90 minutes in the opener and remains the focal point of the team’s attack. Senegal need points after losing to France, which could leave more space in the latter stages and create additional scoring opportunities for the Manchester City forward.

Norway vs Senegal Same Game Parlay

Norway to Win: Norway look like the more organised team under Ståle Solbakken. Senegal were second best against France for long stretches, and the Norwegians have the quality to capitalise on similar defensive lapses.

Erling Haaland to Score: Haaland enters this match in elite form after scoring twice in the last outing. Given his role in Norway’s attack, he remains the most likely player to find the back of the net.

BTTS: Norway’s defensive concentration is a genuine concern – Iraq scored from their only shot on target in the opener, suggesting Solbakken’s side can be caught despite their dominance.

Senegal have the attacking tools to exploit that: Nicolas Jackson’s runs behind the defensive line remain their main outlet in transition, and with the team needing a result, they will push forward rather than sit deep. A 2-1 Norway win is the most realistic scenario and satisfies this leg comfortably.

Norway vs Senegal Team News

Norway Team News 

Norway returned to the World Cup after a 28-year absence with a 4-1 win against Iraq. They beat their opponents on xG – 2.53 to 0.77 – created five big chances, recorded 24 touches in the box, and put five shots on target.

Their only concern is defensive concentration. Iraq scored from their only shot on target, something the Norwegians will need to address against a more dangerous Senegal side.

Erling Haaland led the way with a brace, while Martin Ødegaard provided an assist for Leo Ostigard’s goal. Sander Berge was solid in midfield, making 10 recoveries, while David Wolfe created one big chance and assisted Haaland’s goal.

Norway have no major injury concerns and are expected to field the same lineup.

Senegal Team News

Following their 3-1 defeat against France, Senegal now face enormous pressure because another defeat would leave their hopes of reaching the knockout stage hanging by a thread.

They looked lacklustre in attack against the French, recording only two shots on target and 0.53 xG. The second half was dull, with a single shot that resulted in a goal.

Senegal’s key players remain Sadio Mané and Nicolas Jackson. Mané was the Lions of Teranga’s most dangerous attacker against France, while Jackson’s movement behind the defence continues to be the team’s main outlet in transition. Ibrahim Mbaye came on as a substitute and scored their only goal in stoppage time.

There are no major injury concerns among the regular starters. Head coach Pape Thiaw is expected to stick with the same starting XI.
