Tactical matchup
Côte d'Ivoire line up in a 4-3-3, Norway in a 3-5-2. With little between the sides, control of the central zones and second balls should decide territory. The midfield — Franck Kessié and Amad Diallo against Patrick Berg and Fredrik Aursnes — is where the game is likely won. In a knockout tie the first goal and set pieces carry outsized weight, with caution often trumping early ambition.
