Norway vs Senegal Prediction | World Cup | 23/06

Tuesday's Group I encounter between Norway and Senegal could prove decisive in the race for qualification at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Norway enters the match full of confidence after a commanding 4-1 win over Iraq, a result that leaves Ståle Solbakken's men on the brink of securing a knockout-stage berth.

Senegal, however, faces a must-win situation following a disappointing 3-1 loss to France on Matchday 1. With their World Cup campaign hanging in the balance, the Lions of Teranga need a positive result at MetLife Stadium to stay in contention for the Round of 32.
