Norway face their toughest Group I match in MD2 against Senegal — AFCON champions who matched France's organization throughout the tournament. Haaland's physical presence will be tested by Kalidou Koulibaly's experience and positioning.
Ødegaard and Haaland's combination play from free kicks has produced 4 goals in the last 8 Norway internationals. Senegal defend set pieces well — it will take open play quality to break them.
Senegal likely need a win here to guarantee second place behind France. Mané's experience in these pressure situations is their most important asset — he has scored in 3 of his last 4 knockout match equivalents.
Ismaïla Sarr's pace from the right and Boulaye Dia through the middle give Senegal a counter-attack combination that can threaten any backline.
Norway lead 3–1 all-time. No prior major tournament meeting.
