An interesting defensive battle could be in the offing in the last 16 of the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup on Sunday as Norway and France look to become the last team to enter the semis. This match in Valparaíso, Chile, between U20-landslaget and Les Bleuets comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Norway have never gone beyond the group stage in any of their three previous U20 World Cup campaigns. France are in their first quarter-final appearance since 2013, the year they were crowned champions.
With five points from group games (W1, D2), Norway finished second in Group F, with only fair play points keeping them away from the top spot. They conceded only one goal in these three games, while scoring only twice.
They continued that defensive pedigree in the knockouts, defeating Paraguay 1-0 with an additional extra-time goal after the game ended 0-0 during regular time.
France also posted an identical 1-0 additional extra-time win over Japan in the last 16 after ending 0-0 during regular time. The French are past the round of 16 for the first time since 2013 and will hope to go deep, as they finished champions in that edition.
This came after the French ended third in Group E with six points (W2, L1), where only head-to-head goal difference saw them finish third.

Our Norway -20 vs France -20 Prediction
France needed additional extra time to go past Japan in the last 16, which marked it the second time in their last three matches that they failed to score. This adds a new dimension to this match, as Norway’s recent matches have all been low-scoring. The Norwegians have kept three clean sheets in four matches of this campaign and will look to extend their stay in the tournament.
Norway would at least want to keep it tight during regular time, which is why our Norway U20 vs France U20 prediction is under 2.5.
