The story

Haaland returns as Ivorians eye historic Round of 16

A place in the World Cup last 16 against Brazil or Japan awaits the winner of this high-stakes Round of 32 clash in Texas.

Match news & current form

Ivory Coast enter the knockout stages in confident mood after securing four wins from their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a clinical 2-0 victory over Curaçao, a result that followed a narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany where they were praised for their performance despite the scoreline. The Elephants have shown remarkable consistency in starting matches quickly, scoring first in all three of their group stage fixtures.

Head-to-head history

There are no recent competitive meetings on record between these two nations. However, Norway have already proven they can handle African opposition in this tournament, having defeated Senegal 3-2 during the group stages.

Hot stats & streaks
  • Norway's World Cup matches have averaged five goals per game so far in this tournament.
  • Ivory Coast are only the second African nation in history to open the scoring in all three of their World Cup group games.
  • Solbakken's Norway have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
  • Nicolas Pepe enters this tie in red-hot form after netting both goals in the 2-0 win over Curaçao.
Key players & missing men

Norway are set to recall their big hitters; Erling Haaland, Martin Ødegaard, and Antonio Nusa are all expected to start after being rested against France, while defender Julian Ryerson is also tipped to return to the lineup. Ivory Coast will look to the 'considerable talents' of winger Yan Diomande to stretch the Norwegian defence. Both squads have a clean bill of health with no reported injuries or suspensions.
