Norway - Sweden: our prediction

Norway is in excellent form with 8 wins in the last 10 matches (80%). It wins 100% of its matches as favorite. Sweden, with 70% recent wins, is less performant as an outsider (10% wins). The low odd of 1.18 reflects the clear Norwegian superiority. No information on major injuries is available to contradict this trend.

Both teams have performing attacks. Norway scores regularly (60% of matches with more goals in the 2nd half). Sweden is also offensive in the 1st half (60% of matches with more goals). The total of 55.5 goals is ambitious but achievable in a high-level World Championship match where both teams can contribute to the score. The offensive dynamic of both formations supports this bet.
