Norway vs Senegal — match preview
Norway meet Senegal in Group I of the 2026 World Cup. Back on the big stage with Haaland — a goal threat that scares any defence.
Senegal arrive with their own plan. Reigning African champions — athletic, powerful and genuinely dangerous. The match-up between Erling Haaland and Nicolas Jackson is the headline individual battle.
With little between the two sides, fine margins — a set piece, a moment of quality, a defensive lapse — are likely to decide it. Both teams know a positive start is vital in a tight group.
