Ivory Coast and Norway face each other at AT&T Stadium in what promises to be one of the most entertaining World Cup last-32 clashes, with 2-2 our predicted outcome. Ivory Coast secured their place in the knockout stages with a convincing 2-0 victory over Curacao, where Nicolas Pepe stole the headlines with a brilliant brace. The Villarreal winger is expected to retain his place in the starting XI, while coach Emerse Fae has a fully fit squad to choose from. The Elephants have won seven of their last ten matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored while conceding just 0.9 per game. The nominal hosts have also failed to score in none of those ten outings, highlighting their attacking consistency heading into the knockout rounds.
Norway, meanwhile, rested almost their entire first-choice lineup in a 4-1 defeat to France, ensuring key players would be fresh for this decisive encounter. Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland are both expected to return to the starting XI, with no fresh injury concerns for Stale Solbakken. Norway have scored 2.2 goals per game across their last ten matches, while an impressive 90% BTTS rate shows they are involved in open, entertaining contests. However, they have kept just one clean sheet during that period, suggesting there is room for improvement defensively.
As Norway have seen BTTS land in 9 of their last 10 matches, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Haaland to Score and Over 2.5 goals (both sides possess plenty of firepower and average nearly 3 goals per game combined).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Tuesday 30 June 2026 at 18:00.
