Norway is ranked around 23rd in the world. The team’s offense relies on individual skill, and they possess good stamina, but their defense has shown vulnerabilities when facing stronger opponents.
Ivory Coast is ranked around 30th in the world. The team is known for its speed, physicality, and intensity; it maintains a good balance between offense and defense, and its players handle pressure well. However, injuries may affect positions such as center back (e.g., Singo).
This will be the first official match between the two teams in history. Key points to watch include whether Haaland can deliver a standout performance and the playmaking role of Ødegaard. If Ivory Coast can contain Norway’s offense and capitalize on counterattacks, they may pose a threat to Norway.
