Tuesday’s World Cup slate features three Round of 32 matches, with Ivory Coast and Norway kicking things off at 1 p.m. ET in Texas. Both teams finished second in their respective groups to earn a spot in the knockout stage.
Ivory Coast finished the group stage with a 1-1-1 record and is coming off a 2-0 win over Curaçao, in which Nicolas Pépé scored both goals. While Ivory Coast hasn’t relied heavily on its attack through three matches, goalkeeper Yahia Fofana has been a bright spot. The 25-year-old has recorded eight saves while allowing just two goals.
Norway entered the tournament with higher expectations as a respectable long shot to win the World Cup, thanks in large part to one of the world’s top players, Erling Haaland. Haaland leads Norway with four goals, 10 shots, and seven shots on target through the group stage, including back-to-back two-goal performances to begin his 2026 World Cup campaign. However, Haaland and several other regular starters were rested in Norway’s group-stage finale against Kylian Mbappé and tournament favorite France, a decision by head coach Ståle Solbakken that resulted in a 4-1 loss.
A potential key to Tuesday afternoon’s matchup could be defense and goalkeeping. Ivory Coast has allowed just two goals, both of which came in a 2-1 loss to Germany, while Norway has conceded seven goals. Goalkeepers Ørjan Nyland and Egil Selvik have combined for seven saves through the group stage.

Ivory Coast vs. Norway Best Bet: Erling Haaland Anytime Goalscorer
There’s no questioning Haaland’s talent. Even after sitting out Norway’s group-stage finale against France, his four goals are tied for the second-most in the tournament behind only Argentina’s Lionel Messi.
Haaland has scored twice in each of his two appearances at this year’s World Cup, and an interesting note from the Stats Hub shows he has scored two or more goals in each of his last six World Cup appearances, including qualifiers. While the “To Score 2+ Goals” market is also available at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook, Yahia Fofana has been excellent in goal for Ivory Coast. Because of that, Haaland’s anytime goalscorer prop offers a more balanced option.
