Norway vs Senegal Prediction 6/22/2026 Group I Picks

In this article we will formulate a Norway vs Senegal prediction for this World Cup game on Monday, June 22nd at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this World Cup matchup.

Norway Betting Preview

Norway comes into this match after they defeated Iraq by a score of 4-1 in their first game. Norway took a 2-1 lead in the 43rd minute and they added goals in the 76th minute and sixth minute of stoppage time for the win. Norway recorded 12 total shots, five shots on target, and had 61% of the possession in the game. Norway got goals from Haaland (2) and Ostigard, while Haaland had four shots on target and Nyland did not make a save in net. 

Norway comes into the World Cup ranked 31st in the latest official FIFA rankings and they drew with Morocco by a score of 1-1 prior to this tournament. In that draw, Norway allowed a goal in the eighth minute, but they were able to tie the game in the 75th minute. Norway recorded nine total shots, two shots on target, and had 54% of the possession. Norway has played three other friendlies this year: a 3-1 win over Sweden, a 0-0 draw with Switzerland, and a 2-1 loss to Netherlands. 

Senegal Betting Preview

Senegal comes into this match after they lost to France by a score of 3-1 in their last game. Senegal was tied at zero at halftime, but they allowed three goals in the last 30 minutes for the loss. Senegal recorded six total shots, two shots on target, and had 47% of the possession in the game. Senegal got their goal from Mbaye, while Sarr had three total shots and Mendy made five saves in goal. 

Senegal comes into the World Cup ranked 16th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they drew Saudi Arabia by a score of 0-0 prior to this tournament. In that draw, Senegal only had 0.41 expected goals, but they did play solid defense. Senegal recorded seven total shots, five shots on target, and had 59% of the ball possession. Senegal has played three other friendlies this year: a 3-2 loss to USA, a 3-1 win over Gambia, and a 2-0 win over Peru. 

Norway vs Senegal Prediction

Norway looked dominant in their win over Iraq in their first match and they should have plenty of chances against a shaky Senegal defense. Senegal fought hard against France and even scored a goal, but they couldn’t stop the France attack in the second half. This is a huge game for both sides and I really like how both teams attacked in their first game, so I will take the over here.
