Norway U20 vs France U20 Prediction

Norway made history by making it to the knockout round of the Under-20 World Cup for the first time. They took it one step further by progressing to the last eight and at this point, the sky is the limit for Bjørn Johansen's side.

France have underperformed at this tournament since Paul Pogba and co. inspired them to victory in Turkey. They have not been entirely convincing here but are the favorites to advance into the last four.

We are backing Bernard Diomède's side to claim a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
