Match Analysis
Norway are slight favourites over Ivory Coast in this Round of 32 at AT&T Stadium, Dallas. Haaland's elite conversion rate and Odegaard's midfield control give Norway the edge, but Ivory Coast's dynamic front line and Nicolas Pepe's form keep this dangerous. Julian Ryerson's thigh problem weakens Norway's right flank. Medium confidence.

- 2Ivory Coast's dynamic front line and Nicolas Pepe form — they can hurt Norway's weak right flank
