The Ivorians arrive in Texas with genuine momentum. Emerse Fae's side opened the scoring in all three of their group games — only the second African nation ever to do so at a World Cup — and they closed out Group E with a 2-0 win over Curacao, Nicolas Pepé netting both goals to silence those who had questioned his place in the squad.
Norway, meanwhile, have been one of the tournament's most watchable sides. Their three group games produced 15 goals — exactly five per match — and Erling Haaland arrives in Dallas with four World Cup goals already to his name. The Manchester City striker sat out the 4-1 defeat to France, a rotation call coach Ståle Solbakken made with one eye on this fixture.
Haaland has since defended that decision publicly, insisting the result against France would not have changed regardless of who started. With the squad now rested and refreshed, Norway will look to their talismanic number nine to carry them into the knockout rounds.
One of the most compelling subplots runs along the flanks. Ivory Coast's 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande, the RB Leipzig man attracting interest from several of Europe's biggest clubs, will come up against his club teammate Antonio Nusa on Norway's right side. Their duel could shape the entire match.
Both teams finished second in their respective groups — Ivory Coast in Group E, Norway in Group I — and they are separated by just two places in the world rankings. This is as close a contest as the draw could have produced.
