Norway vs Senegal Prediction & Betting Tips — FIFA World Cup
Our Norway vs Senegal Prediction: Over 1.5
- Norway has failed to score only 1 time in the last 15 matches.
- Senegal are winless in 3 straight matches.
- Erling Haaland found the back of the net twice on his first ever World Cup match.
Why Over 1.5 Goals For Norway vs Senegal
We are backing over 1.5 goals in the Norway vs Senegal match because it is a relatively safe bet at 1.30 odds. Norway have cleared this line in 12 of their last 15 games and they possess one of the most dangerous attacking units in international football, led by Erling Haaland.
While Senegal enter this game as underdogs, we also think they have enough high-profile players to contribute to the scoreline themselves.
Norway Form In Recent Tourneys
Norway have lost only 1 match in 2026, scoring 48 goals in the 15 matches played since the start of the year. Their attacking play has been particularly impressive, with Haaland leading the line and a talented supporting cast creating chances from all areas of the pitch.
Norway also made a statement on Matchday 1 of the World Cup, beating Iraq 4-1.
Senegal Well-equipped To Cause Upset
Although they are the underdogs, we feel Senegal are well-equipped to make life difficult for Norway. Sadio Mane remains the focal point of the attack alongside Nicholas Jackson.
Senegal also possess plenty of experience at the back, making them stronger than the odds suggest.
Erling Haaland Player To Watch
Man City's Erling Haaland announced himself on the World Cup stage in spectacular fashion, scoring twice on his tournament debut.
Given his current form and Norway's attacking approach, it would not be surprising to see Haaland add to his World Cup tally against Senegal.
Verdict
Our World Cup prediction for Norway vs Senegal is over 1.5 Match Goals. At 1.30 odds on SportyBet, we think it's a fair-value bet for two evenly matched sides who are chasing a ticket to the knockout stages.
