What all three of their matches have in common, though, is clearing the over 2.5 goal mark. Each of their matches has comfortably crossed that line, combining for 15 total goals across the group stage phase.
As for the Ivory Coast, they can score with the best of them. They managed four goals in three games, with two games seeing at least two goals scored. Against a high-talent opponent in Germany, their match saw three total goals.
That said, this is a hard lead on the over 2.5 goals with both offenses more than capable.

Even at a negative return, there is value in Erling Haaland’s -121 anytime goal World Cup odds. He’s scored 59 international goals in 52 appearances for Norway.
