Norway vs. Senegal World Cup 2026 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Monday, June 22

How to watch Norway vs. Senegal: FS1 (English) / Telemundo and Peacock (Spanish)

Kickoff Time: 8:00 p.m. ET

Venue: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford 

Group: Group I

Norway vs. Senegal could be the most competitive match in a packed four-game slate on Monday. These two sides have never met, but both field elite attacking options, which may make for a back-and-forth and intense affair.

Senegal had the misfortune of facing the current World Cup favorites, France, in its opening match on June 16. The African side lost 3-1, scoring only a consolation goal in stoppage time following the full 90 minutes.

Pape Thiaw’s squad only generated 0.53 xG despite having 47% possession in the match. The star-studded front line of Sadio Mané, Nicolas Jackson, and Ismaïla Sarr looks to perform much better later this evening after substandard performances vs. France.

They'll face a Norway squad that played impressively in its first World Cup match since 1998. The European side scored their most goals in a World Cup match in the country’s history en route to their third win in the competition all-time.

Haaland stole the show with a brace in his World Cup debut and will look to follow it up against a Senegal club that conceded 2 goals to France’s lead man, Kylian Mbappé, in the opener.

Norway vs. Senegal Picks, Player Stats for World Cup: 6/22/26

Here are the top Norway vs. Senegal player picks to target on Monday, June 22. Today’s World Cup 2026 picks are headlined by Erling Haaland, Sadio Mané, and Édouard Mendy.

Norway FW Erling Haaland Pick vs. Senegal 

Erling Haaland Projections via PrizePicks: 0.5 Goals, 3 Shots, 0.5 Fouls Drawn (Goblin)

• Haaland added 2 goals to his absurd scoring record in his World Cup debut vs. Iraq. The 25-year-old is already Norway’s all-time leading scorer, notching 57 goals in just 51 appearances.
• The Manchester City superstar led Norway with 5 total shots in the opener. He also averaged over 5 shots per game in eight matches for Norway during World Cup qualifiers.
• Haaland is currently one of the most gifted physical freaks in the world. The 6’4” striker with blistering pace attracts the attention of multiple defenders and draws many fouls as a result. Iraq fouled Haaland three times alone in the opener.

Senegal FW Sadio Mané vs. Norway 

Sadio Mané Projections via PrizePicks: 0.5 Shots on Target, 3.5 Attempted Dribbles, 0.5 Goal + Assist

• The Senegalese legend had a subpar performance in his fourth career World Cup match, last appearing in the competition in 2018. His lone shot of the game vs. France ended up on target. Could there be a higher shooting output on Monday as Senegal looks to pick up its first points of the tournament?
• Mané has been one of the world’s best down the left flank for many years due to his ability to beat defenders one-on-one in space. The Senegal attacker attempted 3 dribbles in the opener and averaged just under 4 during Senegal’s AFCON final run earlier this year.
• Senegal’s all-time top scorer has only managed to find the back of the net once in four World Cup matches. He had 3 goals in the last three matches for club and country leading up to the tournament.

Senegal GK Édouard Mendy vs. Norway 

Édouard Mendy Projections via PrizePicks: 3 Goalie Saves, 1.5 Goals Allowed (Demon), 30.5 Passes Attempted

• Mendy was kept busy during the opener, making 5 saves of France’s 8 shots on target. He's now made 9 saves in his last two games for Senegal combined.
• France’s 3 goals were the most conceded by Mendy in a match for Senegal since England scored 3 against him in the 2022 World Cup Round of 16.
• Mendy has been one of the best distributing keepers in the world for some time now. Thiaw is comfortable with Mendy playing out from the back or shooting long balls downfield.
• In the opener, Mendy finished with 36 passes attempted and may stay around this number for the remainder of his games in the competition.
