LiontipsCote d'Ivoire - Norway: betting tip (cf 1.80) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The national team missed the last two world Championships, but was able to qualify for the world championship in North America and achieved a high result, going directly to the 1/16 finals from the group with Germany and Ecuador. The Ivorians traditionally have one of the strongest squads in Africa, with players representing Manchester United, Inter Milan, Leipzig and Villarreal.
At the world Championship, Côte d'Ivoire started with a minimal victory over Ecuador thanks to a goal in the last minute of regular time, and luck was clearly on their side - 1-0. Next, Emers Fae's team suffered their first defeat at the tournament, losing to Germany. Both teams showed bright and attacking football, the Ivorians acted powerfully, led 1-0 during the meeting, but eventually lost 1-2. But in the final round, it was necessary to earn three points with the outsider Curacao, which the elephants did. In the end, the national team won 2-0 and made history, because they had never reached the World Championship playoffs before, even in the era of Didier Drogba. Striker Nicolas Pepe scored two goals in the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries

Approximate line–up: J.Fofana – Douai, Kossunou, U.Diomande, Conan – Kessi, Sangare - J.Diomande, Inao Oulai, Diallo – Pepe.
Current form
The national team was well qualified for the world championship. The Norwegians have raised a cool generation of football players who play for Manchester City, Arsenal London, Atletico Madrid and Benfica. The main Scandinavian star Erling Holand scored four goals. Many experts expect Norway to give a big and high-profile performance, and the drills may even become the main opening at the tournament in North America.
In the first round, the Vikings easily defeated the outsider quartet of the Iraqi national team with a score of 4:1. Next, Stolbakken's team passed a strength test with one of the strongest African national teams, defeated Senegal (3:2). It should be noted that Holand, the best scorer of the Norwegian national team in the entire history (59 goals), scored a double in the first two matches. But in the final round, all ambitions had to be postponed, as French national team forward Ousmane Dembele scored a hat-trick and almost single-handedly destroyed Norway. All the drills could do was score a prestige goal (1-4).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryerson will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Norway has conceded an average of two goals in the last five matches.

Tip and bets
At a tournament in North America, Ivory Coast relies on playing defense. In this year's friendly matches (four games to zero), as well as in two of the three confrontations at the World Championship, the team led by Emers Fae managed to keep its gates intact. It is worth paying attention to this. The main striking power of the national team is a stellar attack led by Amad Diallo (the winning goal against Ecuador), Yann Diomande and Nicolas Pepe (two goals at the World Cup), who are ready to score against any opponent. In the match against the Norwegians, the coaching staff may well rely on quick attacks, because speed, technique and power are the main weapons of the elephant leaders.
In our opinion, it will not be difficult for the Ivorians to cope with the not very reliable defense of the European team - at the championship, the Norwegian national team conceded seven goals, in all three rounds the defensive line made gross mistakes, in general, it was possible to keep the goal intact only in one of the ten past matches. We expect that the representative of Africa will at least not lose today and will have a good chance of making it to the 1/8 finals.
Betting Tip – Côte d'Ivoire will not lose with a coefficient of 1.80
Bet on the total
In Norway's games, an average of three goals are scored, and in the last seven Viking matches out of ten, the referees did not record less than three goals. It should be noted that in six of the ten past confrontations of the African national team, there were also at least three goal takeaways, and today at IT& T in Arlington, we are likely to see a large number of goals. We believe that it will not be difficult for the national teams to break through the main total.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on corners
Africans and Europeans alike are playing the tournament in North America confidently and will probably spend a lot of time attacking. The national teams score all the time and don't have the task of playing defensively. In the last two matches of the elephants at the world championship, at least nine corner kicks were served, and we believe that there will be a lot of corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.73
