First place in Group I will be at stake when Norway and France lock horns in what promises to be one of the most entertaining matches of the final group-stage round. As both teams should be happy with one point from the match, we predict a 2-2 draw. Norway head into the clash on the back of an exciting 3-2 victory over Senegal, with Erling Haaland once again proving decisive by scoring twice. Stale Solbakken's men have been impressive going forward throughout recent months, averaging 2.6 goals per game across their last ten matches. However, defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, particularly after conceding twice against Senegal. To make matters worse, right-back Julian Ryerson picked up an injury in that match and is expected to be replaced by Marcus Pedersen.
France, meanwhile, continued their strong World Cup campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Iraq. Kylian Mbappe stole the show with a brace and looks in sensational form heading into the knockout rounds. Didier Deschamps has no fresh injury concerns, while Desire Doue is widely expected to replace Bradley Barcola in the starting lineup. Importantly, Les Bleus need only a point to secure first place in the group.
As both sides average well over two goals scored per game, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Draw and Both Teams to Score (attacking talent on both sides points to a high-scoring affair).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 26 June 2026 at 20:00.
