Analysis
Norway is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 matches with no losses in their last 4 straight, but their defense has not been great in these. They have allowed goals in their last 3 straight matches and they only have 1 clean sheet in their last 8 straight matches. Their attack has also struggled against stronger defenses as they have scored just 1 goal or less in 3 of their last 5 matches. They are coming off of a 4-1 win against Iraq in their 1st match of this tournament, but they were playing against one of the weaker teams in the whole tournament and they still allowed a goal shortly after taking their 1st lead of the match. They are going up against a Senegal side that has not been in great form recently, but they are one of the better teams in Africa and have a lot of quality that can compete with some of the best in the world. They are coming off of a 3-1 loss against France in their 1st match of this tournament, but they held France to a 0-0 draw at halftime and they made it very difficult for France to find the net in that match, not scoring until the final 20 mins. They have a very good defense that is not going to allow Norway to create the scoring chances they got in their 1st match and Norway's defense is also going to be tested a lot more by the quality in this Senegal attack. Senegal is one of the better teams in this group and they have the quality to win this match outright. Senegal will win this match or at least draw, take Senegal +0.5 here. FIFA World Cup: Senegal +0.5, Rot. 225401
