Norway and Senegal clash in a crucial game in Group I. Both teams are looking to take a big step towards the knockout stages of World Cup 2026. Norway are the favourites with bet365 at 2.30. Senegal are priced at 3.10 with the draw available at 3.40.
We expect this to be an entertaining clash given the situation in this group. Norway can likely secure a top two finish with victory, while Senegal need to pick up three points to kick-start their own campaign. Backing both teams to score at 1.75 with bet365 looks the right bet.
Reasons to Follow this Bet
Norway netted plenty when qualifying for this tournament and continued their goal-scoring ability when putting four past Iraq in their opening fixture.
Senegal were impressive against France despite defeat and were unlucky not to be ahead at the break after creating chances against one of the tournament favourites.
Both teams conceded in the first game of the group stages.
Norway vs Senegal - Team News
Norway may choose to stick with the same team that beat Iraq in the opening game. Andreas Schjelderup and Oscar Bobb are pushing for a place in attack should manager Ståle Solbakken look to freshen things up.
Senegal can take plenty of positives from their clash against France. They kept the ball well, created chances and did well until France finally found top gear towards the end of the contest. They could keep the same team that faced France but may look to find places for Premier League duo Iliman Ndiaye and Habib Diarra.
