Ousmane Dembélé scored a hat-trick as France thrashed Norway 4-1 in the World Cup, the winger's devastating pace and finishing proving far too much for a Norwegian side that briefly threatened a revival. The result keeps France's campaign firmly on track, though no next fixture is currently scheduled.

◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — France
CheckLive's preview tilts narrowly toward France — a slight edge in squad depth and tournament composure rather than a clear form gap. Norway arrive with momentum and a four-match unbeaten run, making this a tighter contest than the table suggests. Expect a low-scoring, cagey affair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win the Norway vs France match?
France are slight favourites according to CheckLive's analysis, backed by a 57% win probability driven by marginally higher skill and tournament composure. Norway's strong form, however, keeps the outcome genuinely open. Expect either a narrow French win or a draw, with a single goal likely to decide it.
Who has the better form going into Norway vs France?
Norway hold a slight edge in form on the numbers, with a rating of 60.5 compared to France's 60.3. Their four-match unbeaten run includes wins over quality opposition, while France have won two straight in the group but faced weaker sides. Momentum leans toward the visitors.
Will both teams score in Norway vs France?
Both teams to score looks a live market given Norway's attacking threat on the break and France's quality in the final third. Norway have scored in four of their last five, while France have found the net in both group matches. Defensive solidity from both, though, could keep the total low.
