Norway vs Senegal World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Assured qualification into the Round of 32 is potentially on the line as Norway and Senegal square off in World Cup Group I action on Monday at MetLife Stadium.
Norway picked up a thumping 4-1 victory over Iraq in their opening game, with star striker Erling Haaland bagging himself a double before half-time. Norway have now won their last 11 competitive games, scoring a whopping 50 goals in the process.
Meanwhile, Senegal were impressive but ultimately couldn't compete with a star-studded France outfit, going down 3-1. However, the Lions of Teranga would be expected to beat Iraq in their final group game and book their ticket into the Round of 32, but whether they go through automatically or as one of the eight-best third-placed teams may hinge on the result of this game.
I do think Senegal can take at least a point here. Their only competitive loss since the 2022 World Cup was their defeat to France, while they also haven't lost to a nation ranked below them since January 2024. They really should be African champions and have star quality all over the pitch.
Norway have been largely bullying smaller nations - they've actually failed to win their last three games against teams ranked in the top 20. Both teams to score looks likely, with Norway struggling to keep clean sheets. Ismaila Sarr was heavily involved on the wing against France and can make the goalkeeper work again here.
Norway vs Senegal Stats & Trends
- Norway have won their last 11 competitive games
- Senegal have lost just one competitive game since the 2022 World Cup
- Norway have seen BTTS land in seven of their last eight games
- Senegal haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 12 World Cup games
- Ismaila Sarr had three shots vs France in his opening game
- Sarr registered 2+ shots in three of his opening four games at the AFCON earlier this year
- Sarr registered 2+ shots in 12 of his final 17 EPL games for Crystal Palace this season
Norway vs Senegal Head To Head
This will be just the second meeting between the two nations, with Senegal winning a 2006 friendly 2-1.
Norway Form Analysis
Norway stormed through their qualifying group by winning all eight of their games and they continued that momentum with a crushing 4-1 victory over Iraq in their first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Haaland had a World Cup debut to remember, scoring a brace before half-time before Leo Ostigard's header and a Aymen Hussein own goal in the last 15 minutes handed Norway all three points and the initial advantage in Group I.
Stale Solbakken's have now scored 50 goals in their last 11 wins and would be ensured of a spot in the R32 by picking up a 12th consecutive competitive victory here.
Norway Team News
No injury concerns for Norway ahead of this clash.
Haaland has scored in his last 11 appearances for Norway for a total of 22 goals, netting 2+ in his last five. Antonia Nusa was dangerous down the flank in his opening game and should be a threat again here.

Senegal Form Analysis
Senegal are arguably the top nation in Africa - they were controversially stripped of the AFCON trophy after initially beating Morocco in the final and they've only suffered one competitive defeat since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Lions of Teranga showed glimpses of their immense talent against France, but ultimately they couldn't compete across the entire 90 minutes, going down 3-1 in a rematch of the 2002 opener.
Teenage sensation Ibrahim Mbaye scored on his World Cup debut, with the 18-year-old PSG winger making his mark on the big stage.
Senegal Team News
Pape Thiaw might decide to give Mbaye more minutes, but it would be a surprise if either of Sadio Mane, Nicolas Jackson or Ismaila Sarr made way.
No injury concerns for Senegal ahead of this clash.
