Haaland's World Cup debut: Norway's warrior with 55 goals in 48 matches

After 28 years, Norway has finally returned to the World Cup! Haaland scored 16 goals in 8 qualifying matches, the most in the entire European qualifying zone. He has played 48 matches for the national team and scored 55 goals, an almost extraterrestrial level of efficiency. This season, Haaland also won the Premier League Golden Boot and the FA Cup and EFL Cup titles with Manchester City. His finishing ability is now among the top in world football. Norway was placed in Group I this time, alongside France, Senegal, and Iraq. Against France’s defense, it’s really hard for Haaland to score, and Senegal’s physicality is also strong.

The biggest question is how far Norway can go? If Norway advances from the group stage, Haaland has a high chance of playing 4 to 5 matches, scoring 4 to 5 goals. But if Norway is eliminated in the group stage, even if Haaland scores 3 to 4 goals, it will be difficult to compete with Mbappé or Kane for the Golden Boot. Norway’s midfield creativity mainly relies on Ødegaard, which still lags behind the luxurious midfield of England and France. In his first World Cup, Haaland will surely give his all. His power-based playing style benefits when facing weaker teams in the group stage.

I predict Haaland will score 4 to 5 goals this time, may not win the Golden Boot, but will be a dark horse among the contenders. The odds of 7.50 on Polymarket for Haaland are worth a bet, especially on the single-match goal-scoring options during the group stage.
