While Julian Nagelsmann opted against major rotation against Ecuador, Norway coach Staale Solbakken has really set the rotation machine in motion for the final group game against France

Of the eleven players in the starting lineup that celebrated a 3-2 win over Senegal, just one (!) remains. Only Fredrik Aursnes starts today. The other ten players are all new to the starting eleven.

That means stars such as Julian Ryerson, Martin Ödegaard, Alexander Sörloth and, of course, Erling Haaland are among those missing. So we’ll have to wait a little longer for the striker showdown between him and Kylian Mbappé. 

Both Norway and France have already qualified for the knockout stage with six points. Solbakken, however, doesn’t seem particularly keen on finishing top of the group. Germany could then be waiting for Norway in the round of 16. 

France, on the other hand, are only making a few changes, with attacking stars such as Mbappé, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué all starting. 

Let’s see which tactic pays off in the end.
