Norway and Senegal meet at MetLife Stadium in a Group I matchday-two clash with very different stakes. Norway sit top after an emphatic opening win; Senegal must respond after defeat to keep their tournament alive.

Norway flying after a four-goal opener

Norway opened with a commanding 4-1 win over Iraq, their attack sharp and their finishing clinical, and they top Group I on goal difference. Their striker firepower carries a threat few defences contain. They arrive with no major absentees reported, eager to take another step toward the knockout stage.

Senegal under pressure to respond

Senegal were beaten 3-1 by France, competitive in spells but ultimately second best, and now face a must-win game. They carry pace and quality in attack and will have to commit forward, which could leave space at the back. They arrive with no major absentees reported, knowing only a win keeps their hopes alive.

Prediction: goals at MetLife

With Norway in clinical form and Senegal forced to chase the game, the Norway versus Senegal prediction leans toward goals: the total going over 2.5 reads as the value angle. Around it, a Norway win reflects their form and quality, Norway over 1.5 fits their scoring trend, the match passing over 1.5 looks likely, and Senegal — pushing forward — are tipped to score.
