Ivory Coast and Norway meet in a World Cup round-of-32 fixture in Dallas at AT&T Stadium stadium, Arlington City, USA on Tuesday.
Norway finished second in Group I after wins over Iraq (4-1) and Senegal (3-2) preceded a heavy 4-1 loss to France, for which head coach Stale Solbakken surprisingly made 10 changes.
Neither Erling Haaland nor Martin Odegaard featured against Les Bleus, so should be well-rested for this knockout tie. Haaland scored twice against both Senegal and Iraq, taking his tally for the tournament so far to four as he features behind Lionel Messi in a star-studded race for the Golden Boot.
Ivory Coast qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time ever by finishing second in Group E. They secured wins over Ecuador (1-0) and debutants Curacao (2-0), but lost 2-1 to Germany after a dramatic stoppage-time goal.
