It’s hard to know what to expect from Norway and Senegal, but based on their opening games, we’re going with Norway to prevail in a close contest.

Haaland showed why he’s one of the best strikers on the planet with two goals against Iraq, and if he can get scoring chances, he often makes them count. That’s a bad sign for Senegal, who lost 3-1 to France in their opener.

It wasn’t a bad game from the African nation, but their defence will need to improve. Norway isn’t as good as France, but with Haaland in the team, they only need a few chances to put a goal on the board.

We’re backing Norway at $2.30 because Senegal has no room for error, and a loss will see them out of playoffs contention. Norway should play freely, and that should be enough for a victory.

Haaland has a great chance of adding to his World Cup scoring tally. He has 14 goals in his last five appearances for Norway, which is an exceptional record, and the $1.91 odds to score are generous from bookmakers.

Martin Odegaard is also a value pick at $2.88 to score or assist. He has one goal and seven assists from his last five games, including an assist against Iraq. He adds value to FIFA World Cup SGM picks.

We have both teams scoring in what could be a 2-1 or 3-1 victory to Norway. It should be an expansive game, and it could be one of the most exciting games of the week.

Erling Haaland

First Goal Scorer

$3.60

The odds are about as short as you get for first goal scorer markets, but Haaland is an excellent pick.

He inserts himself into the attack from the start of the game, and he can produce a beautiful solo goal if he gets an early chance.

He didn’t take long to score in the opening game, and $3.60 is a fair price for him to get Norway off and running.
