Norway is ranked approximately 23rd in the world. The team's offense relies on individual ability, and they have good physical reserves, but their defense has exposed problems when facing strong opponents.

Ivory Coast is ranked approximately 30th in the world. The team is known for its speed, physicality, and impact. Their offense and defense are balanced, and their players possess strong mental resilience under pressure. However, there might be injury or suspension issues in positions like center-back (e.g., Singo).

This match marks the first official encounter between the two teams in history. Key points to watch include whether Haaland can break out and the playmaking role of Ødegaard. If Ivory Coast can limit Norway's attack and utilize counter-attacks, they could pose a threat to Norway.
