Match description
Typ 1X2: 2. Norway scored seven goals in two matches and France six; both teams have already advanced. France leads thanks to a better balance sheet and a draw is enough for it to maintain first place, while Norway announces a partial rotation. France has a deeper squad, but the Norway offense with Haaland and Ødegaard remains a real threat. Our independent rating is 28% for Norway, 33% for draw and 39% for France. The most likely outcome profile is 1:1 or 1:2; type has 39% and takes into account motivation, rotation and the course of the first two rounds. Status: NOBET
