Ivory Coast vs. Norway Best Prop Bet

  • Amad Diallo Anytime Goal (+300)

In today's edition of my Best World Cup Goal Scorer Bets Today, I broke down why I love Amad Diallo at 3-1 odds to score:

Ivory Coast's midfielder has been an offensive weapon for this team in the tournament. He had three shots with an expected goals of 0.37 against Curacao, along with 0.30 expected goals against Germany. He also opened the tournament with Ivory Coast's only goal against Ecuador. He should be able to take advantage against a Norwegian team that has struggled defensively thus far, sporting an expected goals against mark of 1.64 per 90 minutes played. Diallo is a great bet to score at 3-1.

Ivory Coast vs. Norway Prediction and Best Bet

I think we could be in for an upset between Ivory Coast and Norway. I broke down why I'm betting on Ivory Coast to advance in today's edition of my Best World Cup Bets Today:

Don't let the fact that Norway has Erling Haaland make you think that they're a better team than they are. Norway has an expected goal differential of -0.26 per 90 minutes played. There is no doubt they can create offense, but their defense has plenty of issues. Now, they take on an Ivory Coast team with similar numbers, an expected goal differential of -0.17 per 90 minutes played.

In my opinion, the result of this game should be closer to 50-50. I'll take a chance on the Ivory Coast at +140.
