Ivory Coast -vs- Norway

Ivory Coast vs Norway Prediction
 
I am betting Norway here -0.25 and over 2.5 goals scored, the game is being played in Dallas which is an air conditioned stadium and one that the temperature is controlled in and this for me will hand Norway an advantage from playing outdoors, added to the fact that Norway basically choose to rest their team v France in their last group game they should be the fresher team coming into this match and this should allow them to play their game which is high tempo one. I also think we will see goals today, I think the way Norway play allows them to play in a very attacking manner and they create a lot of chances from this tactic, however it does also give the opposition chances too and even though the knockout stages produce tighter games I think this game should go over or certainly is value to go over.  I can't see Norway changing the way they approach games and that will mean we should see an open game as a result with plenty of goals and this will mean Ivory Coast may struggle to keep up with Norway's scoring.
