Ivory Coast Recent Form — Last 5
Norway Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Norway's offensive efficiency is elite, significantly overperforming their xG due to Erling Haaland's clinical finishing, whereas Ivory Coast plays strictly to their statistical expectations.
Rest Advantage: While Ivory Coast had 24 hours more team recovery, Norway's stars (Haaland and Ødegaard) were fully rested during their final group game, giving them a physical edge in high-intensity phases.
Tactical Mismatch: Ivory Coast's disciplined mid-block will struggle with Norway's verticality and Martin Ødegaard's ability to find pockets of space between the lines.
Injuries & Absentees
Ivory Coast suffers a major defensive blow with Wilfried Singo ruled out (hamstring), forcing a reshuffle in the backline. Norway is likely without Julian Ryerson (thigh), but their squad depth in midfield allows Aursnes to cover, minimizing the tactical impact compared to Singo's absence for the Elephants.
