Ivory Coast vs Norway Prediction

Norway comes into this match after three very exciting group games that resulted in 15 goals, so I am not sure what to expect from them defensively. Ivory Coast only allowed two goals, which came to Germany, but Haaland is one of the best players in the world. We know Ivory Coast is going to try and slow the pace with strong defense, but I can’t ignore the way Norway gets up and down the field. Take the over here.
