Ivory Coast’s edge is defensive: 0.6 conceded on their five-game sample is the standout stabiliser in this matchup. Norway bring the higher scoring rate at 2.4 goals per game, but that comes alongside a looser 1.8 conceded - a profile that keeps the door open for an Ivory Coast response even if Norway control long spells.

The market movement is a storyline on its own: Norway have eased from 1.85 to 2.07, while Ivory Coast have tightened from 4.30 to 3.55. That shift fits a closer contest than the early prices implied, and it’s a useful reference point when weighing a prediction alongside the h2h angle.
