Top Iraq vs Norway predictions
After examining New Zealand vs. Iran from every angle, Eimer is leaning Over 2.5 total goals. New Zealand enter the 2026 World Cup scoring 37 times in qualifying matches. Norway doesn't care if they're up 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, it doesn't matter. This is a team that is coached to attack no matter what . Look at Erling Haaland to score a brace in this one, as Iraq will just be holding on for dear life and trying to weather the Viking storm.
Norway return to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. They did so by being the most dominate goal-scoring threat in the entirety of the UEFA qualification stages. Norway won group I in the qualifiers outscoring their opponents 37-5 in just eight matches. They also went 8-0-0. Led by the Viking himself Erling Haaland, this team's front line is terrifying. Haaland is backed by Martin Odegaard, Alexander Sorloth and Antonio Nusa. Backing the Over is the value play.
