Norway vs France Odds, Tips & Predictions: French to Progress as Group I Winners

European nations Norway and France meet in a mouth-watering 2026 FIFA World Cup group game in Foxborough on Friday.

Both nations have taken maximum points and are safely through to the Round of 32, so the winners at Gillette Stadium will secure first place in Group I. Check out the best Norway vs France odds, picks, and predictions in this extensive betting preview.

Norway vs France Picks & Preview

Norway are making their first World Cup appearance since reaching the Round of 16 in France back in 1998. The Norwegians have enjoyed their time in North America so far, picking up six points from a possible six.

France have always been the favourites to finish top of their group in the World Cup Group I odds market, but Stale Solbakken’s Norway have certainly given the 2022 runners-up a run for their money.

The Norwegians started their World Cup campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Iraq at Gillette Stadium. In his first World Cup appearance, Manchester City ace Erling Haaland bagged a brace.

Norway followed that up with a hard-fought victory over Senegal at MetLife Stadium. Haaland scored another double after Marcus Holmgren Pedersen’s strike. Ismaila Sarr scored twice for the Senegalese, but Norway held on for a 3-2 win.

France remain the tournament favourites after two wins from two. Didier Deschamps’ men have scored six times and conceded one, and a point will be enough for them on Friday to secure first place.

The French picked up a 3-1 win against Senegal on matchday one, with Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace. The 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner then netted another couple in the 3-0 victory over Iraq in France’s second Group I fixture.

This will be the first meeting between the two European nations since a friendly back in May 2014. Olivier Giroud (2), Paul Pogba, and Loic Remy were on target in a big 4-0 French win. The scoreline might not be quite as flattering for France this time, but we fancy Les Bleus to come out on top once again.

There is excellent value in 9/5 for the France win and both teams to score, World Cup odds well worth taking advantage of.

Our Prediction: France Win & Both Teams to Score – 9/5

Norway vs France Picks & Odds

With so much attacking talent on display in both teams, we are expecting goals at Gillette Stadium. Between them, the pair have scored 13 goals in the World Cup so far.

Norway vs France Goalscorer Predictions

Mbappe and Haaland have been among the star players in North America so far. Looking at the latest World Cup Golden Boot odds, both players are fancied to score a hatful of goals during the tournament.

Lionel Messi leads the way on five goals, with both Mbappe and Haaland hot on his heels on four goals apiece. According to the latest World Cup Golden Boot odds, both are in the mix for the top scorer award. All eyes will be on Haaland and Mbappe when they take to the field in Foxborough.

Many bettors will be backing these two in their goalscoring picks for today. Mbappe has opened the scoring in both of France’s games in the World Cup, and the French skipper is available at 16/5 to net the opener in this one.

We also fancy Haaland to make an impact in the game, and the Man City superstar is priced at 6/5 to net anytime at Gillette Stadium.

Our Predictions: Kylian Mbappe to Score First – 16/5 / Erling Haaland to Score Anytime – 6/5
