Preview

Norway vs Senegal has the feel of a real World Cup battle, with both sides carrying threat in different ways. The model gives Home a 40.1% chance, so Norway are only slight favourites, while BTTS Yes sits at 58.6% and Over 2.5 at 55.5%. That fits a game with open spells and chances at both ends. Senegal’s pace can trouble Norway’s back line, but Norway’s direct play and dead-ball threat give them the edge. On a neutral stage, one big moment could swing it, yet the safer read is a lively game with goals and a narrow finish.
