Norway vs France — match preview
Norway meet France in Group I of the 2026 World Cup. Back on the big stage with Haaland — a goal threat that scares any defence.
France arrive with their own plan. Tournament co-favourites with the most balanced squad and Mbappé at the peak. The match-up between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé is the headline individual battle.
On paper France have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
