Norway vs France World Cup prediction
Hoards of Erling Haaland fans are in ecstasy, as they will get the chance to see the Scandinavian striking sensation in World Cup action this summer.
With Norway failing to qualify for a major tournament for 25+ years, many thought they’d never get the chance to see Haaland and his cohorts at the biggest sporting extravaganza on the planet. However, following a sparkling qualifying campaign, numerous Norwegian fans are now preparing summer trips to North America.
It proved to be a highly memorable group campaign for Norway when they last qualified for the World Cup, 28 years ago. After opening with score draws against Morocco and Scotland at France 98, they recorded a remarkable 2-1 comeback win against Brazil, to book their spot in the knockouts.
The Norwegians won't want to leave it too late this time and will hope to have plenty of points in the bag before they face off with France in Foxborough. France are aiming to become only the third side after Germany and Brazil to compete in three consecutive World Cup Finals, having won in 2018 and finished runners-up in 2022.
France have been lucky enough to field a glittering array of talent throughout the years of course. During their two previous triumphant World Cup campaigns of 1998 and 2018, the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Didier Deschamps, Marcel Desailly, N'Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann all helped pull the strings and guide them to success. Now they'll be looking to modern legends such as Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise to bring them honours on the global stage.
While honours have been fairly even between Norway and France over the years, Les Bleus stormed to a 4-0 success when the sides last met in a friendly at the Stade de France back in 2014, with Paul Pogba, Olivier Giroud (twice) and Loic Remy all netting.
