Gillette Stadium hosts a blockbuster Group I decider on 26 June 2026 as Norway face France in their first ever World Cup meeting. Norway return after a 28-year absence; France chase a third title. With qualification potentially on the line, Les Bleus are favoured at 1.82<\/a>, though Erling Haaland's presence ensures nothing is straightforward.<\/p>

Projected final score: 1-3<\/h3>

France arrive ranked 3rd in the world against Norway's 31st, and their recent WWLWW form underlines why 1.82<\/a> represents genuine value here. A fully fit Saliba anchors a defensive line capable of handling Haaland, while Mbappé, Griezmann and Dembélé give France multiple routes to goal that Norway's backline struggled to replicate against comparable opposition.<\/p>

Both sides carry attacking threat, with Ødegaard pulling strings for a Norwegian unit that scored 37<\/strong> goals in qualifying, so a blank sheet for the hosts feels unlikely. However, France's defensive structure limits Norway to one goal at most, while their own front three should find the net more than once, keeping the total at a manageable 1.61 level without becoming a rout.<\/p>
