Norway vs Ivory Coast: Prediction, Odds & Best Bet

SharpCapper's AI best bet: Norway vs Ivory Coast Over 2.5 (-120) — confidence 7/10/10, MEDIUM risk.

The Edge

Near-even money on a total involving two attacking teams with perfect scoring streaks and a fully rested Haaland returning — the book hasn't adequately priced Norway's offensive ceiling back at full strength.

Key Factors

• Norway scored 8 goals in group play with Haaland netting 4; starters fully rested after bench-only loss to France.
• Both teams scored in every single group game; BTTS hit in 9 of Norway's last 10 matches across all competitions.
• Ivory Coast scored in all 3 group games and have found the net in each of their last 10 consecutive matches.
• Four of Norway's last 5 matches and 8 of Ivory Coast's last 10 World Cup matches cleared 2.5 goals.
• Norway ML line move (+104 to +100) shows sharp money supporting Norway; both teams built to attack in knockout pressure.
