Group I Analysis: France and Norway Level, Senegal and Iraq on the Brink

Group I's qualification picture is incredibly tight heading into the final matchday. France and Norway both have six points from two wins, identical goal difference (+3), and the same number of goals scored (5 each). Their direct clash will decide the group winner.

France have been dominant: 3-0 over Iraq and 2-0 over Senegal. Kylian Mbappé is in red-hot form with three goals, while Antoine Griezmann's creativity has been vital.

Norway have impressed too: a 3-2 thriller against Senegal and a 2-1 win over Iraq. Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard form a lethal partnership, but defensive lapses have cost them goals in both games.

Senegal and Iraq are both on zero points but not mathematically eliminated. If Senegal beat Iraq and France draw with Norway, Senegal could advance on goal difference.

However, both teams have a goal difference of -3, meaning they need big wins. Iraq lost 3-0 to France and 2-1 to Norway—their attack has shown flashes but defense is shaky.

Senegal, with Sadio Mané and Ismaïla Sarr, have attacking quality but have conceded five goals due to defensive errors. They must go all-out against Iraq.

The France vs Norway showdown is the headline act. Both teams love to attack, promising an open, entertaining match. The Mbappé vs Haaland duel adds extra spice.
