Haaland and Mbappé Clash for Group I Supremacy
Top spot in Group I is at stake as Norway and France both look to maintain their perfect starts to the 2026 World Cup at the Gillette Stadium.
France enter the final group game in control of the title race, sitting top with six points. Les Bleus have been clinical so far, following up a 3-1 win over Senegal with a 3-0 brushing aside of Iraq. The squad will be led by assistant staff on matchday as manager Didier Deschamps has temporarily returned to France following the death of his mother, providing a poignant emotional backdrop for the French side.
Norway are enjoying their first World Cup appearance in 28 years and sit second on six points, trailing France only on goal difference. While they have been prolific in attack—beating Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-2—their defensive lapses have been evident. A win here would see them leapfrog France to win the group and secure a theoretically easier path in the knockout stages.
