Ivory Coast vs Norway Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: Ivory Coast to win
Ivory Coast have performed brilliantly on what has been only their fourth World Cup Finals appearance.
Through to the knockout stages for the first time ever, Ivory Coast were pipped to top spot in Group E by Germany on goal difference, and they erased the group jinx that hung over them.
Against Curacao, Nicholas Pepe rolled back the years for the Elephants, contributing a brace, becoming the second-oldest African player to score a double in a World Cup game after the iconic Roger Milla.
Norway, meanwhile, were blown away by France in a 4-1 defeat last Friday. There were 10 changes made to the starting XI, with leading scorer Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard left on the bench, but the decision backfired.
I was concerned with how brittle Norway were against France, and perhaps there is an over-reliance on Haaland. I’ve challenged popular opinion and backed Ivory Coast to derail Norway, sealing the deal inside regulation time.
Tip 2: Norway to win first corner
Given this will be the first World Cup meeting between Ivory Coast and Norway, we don’t have any past data to go on.
Wherever possible, Norway will look to release Haaland, whereas Ivory Coast boast artillery through Pepe and Amad Diallo, who can both wreak havoc.
Although Norway were all at sea against France, they were just shaded out in the corner count (5-4).
Norway, let’s not forget, have never been past the Round of 16 before, and they will look to make a good fist of this contest.
Having leaned into Ivory Coast to come out on top, I’m tempted by the team prop of Norway to earn the first corner of the game.
Tip 3: Ivory Coast to win, Nicholas Pepe to score & Norway to win first corner
Fire up your bet builder with Ivory Coast to continue to ride the crest of a wave. They scored in all three of their group games, and they could flourish once again, stopping Norway in their tracks inside 90 minutes.
Despite flopping at Arsenal, Pepe is reminding fans of his quality, and the anytime scorer market offers some value here.
Tie things up with the corner market. Norway will look to pour men forward wherever possible, and they could win the first corner of the contest.
