Ivory Coast face Norway in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, kicking off Wednesday, 01 Jul 2026 00:00 WIB. Here is JournalArta’s AI forecast — grounded in standings data, not a certainty.
⭐ Key players: Franck Kessie, Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard
Analysis
Ivory Coast possesses a more balanced midfield to stifle Norway's creativity, which heavily relies on Martin Odegaard. Although Erling Haaland remains a constant threat in the box, the disciplined defense of Les Elephants is predicted to limit his service and secure a narrow victory. Quick transitions will be key for Ivory Coast to exploit a shaky Norwegian defense that conceded seven goals in the group stage.
