Top France vs. Norway predictions
After examining France vs. Norway from every angle, Green is leaning Over 3.5 total goals (+124). France has a potent offense and has scored three or more goals in six of their last eight matches. They have outscored their opponents 22-7 during that stretch. Norway have been equally impressive over their last four matches, outscoring their foes 11-5.
"The French players should be full of confidence after cruising to a 3-0 victory over Iraq in their last game. Kylian Mbappé scored twice in that match, taking his tally to four goals in two games so far at this tournament. Norway's Erling Haaland has also scored four times in two matches, so they're among the leading contenders for the Golden Boot. This game could boil down to a personal duel between the superstar strikers." See Green's best bets for Norway vs. France at SportsLine, and you can bet the Over in France vs. Norway at FanDuel here:
