The World Cup already seems to have been going on for ages but we have finally reached the knockout stages. Norway take on Ivory Coast in the last 32 with the winners facing either Brazil or Japan in the next round. Both of these countries finished second in their group with two wins and one defeat. Erling Haaland has already scored four goals and his performances for the Vikings lead us to make the prediction that Norway will win this match.
Haaland has so far scored 20 goals in this World Cup with 16 in the qualifying rounds as Norway won their group ahead of Italy. They started these finals with two good wins before losing to France 4-1, a game that Haaland watched from the bench.
Ivory Coast have made history by making their way into the knockout stages for the first time. They put in some solid performances in Group E and even led Germany at one stage before losing 2-1. The Elephants will never forget these finals, especially if they can beat Norway to reach the last 16.

Côte d'Ivoire - Norway: Form Analysis
This is the first time Norway has qualified for the World Cup finals since 1998. They won their qualifying group finishing six points clear of Italy. The Red, White and Blue had a great deal to thank star striker Erling Haaland for as he hit 16 goals for them.
Haaland has been in top scoring form.
His form has continued in the finals with a couple of goals scored in both of their first two games in Group I. They beat Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-2 to clinch their place in the last 32 with a game to spare. Haaland was left out of their final group match against France, which they lost 4-1.
Norway had been unbeaten in their previous five games before that loss to France.
Ivory Coast hadn't played in the World Cup finals this century before this tournament.. The Elephants had a memorable qualification group, winning it by a point from Gabon. They scored 25 goals in their group and didn't concede a goal.
In Group E, Ivory Coast began with a 1-0 win over Ecuador thanks to a late goal. It was their turn to concede late on when they lost 2-1 to Germany after taking the lead. Second place in the group was confirmed with a 2-0 win over Curacao with both goals being scored by Nicolas Pepe.
Ivory Coast have lost one of their last seven matches.

Côte d'Ivoire & Norway Squad Analysis
Norway were soundly beaten by France in their final group game. What promised to be a great game between the top two sides in the group became an absolute farce. The new head-to-head tie-breaker meant Norway had already confirmed their place in the top two.
Rather than trying to go all out and win the group, their coach made ten changes to the starting line-up that had beaten Senegal 3-2. That included leaving top scorer Erling Haaland on the bench and that's where he stayed for the entire game.
Norway's top players will make their return.
Consideration was made for the fact that several of their players were affected by the hot weather conditions experienced during the Senegal match. No doubt, the players rested for the match against France will be back for this last 32 tie.
Ivory Coast did not have the opportunity to make wholesale changes for their final group game. They had work to do to ensure their place in the top two and did so with a 2-0 win over Curacao. The Elephants will hope for more goals from Villarreal striker Nicolas Pepe who scored twice in that final group win.

Our Côte d'Ivoire vs Norway Prediction
Norway have never been past the round of 16 in the World Cup. They had an excellent qualifying group and got off to a strong start in the finals with two wins over Iraq and Senegal, scoring seven goals. Ten changes were then made for the France match which they lost 4-1.
Ivory Coast are in the knockout stages for the first time after three previous group eliminations. They were also impressive in qualification and won two of their three group games in this tournament. This could be close but our main Ivory Coast v Norway prediction is Norway wins.
