A great final game in prospect here with two free-scoring teams and two world superstars fighting it out for top spot in the group - and both already through so no real pressure, let's hope it's the shootout we expect.

France lead the group by just a goal so only need a draw, yet they're 13/201.65 match favourites, with Norway 7/24.50.

But with 14 wins from 18 and Erling Haaland flying then you wouldn't rule it out. The Norwegian is the Betfair Sportsbook's 6/17.00 third favourite to win the Golden Boot.

Les Bleus obviously have their own hot-shot in Kylian Mbappe, who has four goals so far, the same as Haaland, and Didier Deschamps' side have looked more solid at the back so far.

But not solid enough to expect them to keep Haaland out. The stats say we are in for goals. Eight of Norway's last nine saw both teams score and that's the same for six of seven for France - who have also scored 2+ goals in a whopping 14 of 15, so we simply have to expect goals.

Changes might be made at some point - and the match result could well depend on those changes. France obviously have so many attacking options they'll always be a threat, but Norway have decent depth too so there's no reason why they can't bag a few goals.

For this reason, the score draw is interesting at 9/25.50 as these teams are more evenly matched than the odds suggest - Norway have energy and cohesion and are arguably more balanced in midfield.

But at the same price I'll go for multiple goals from both teams - there's not as much depth in defence as up top for either side so I just can't see why they both shouldn't fill their boots.

Play it simple and back superstar strikers in 10/34.33 Bet Builder

It's not rocket sceince but Haaland and Mbappe are so good, and have started so well, that they remain backable here. Although it's a big game I don't see either defence as water tight.

They've both scored twice in both games and they've both had seven shots on target - with Mbappe just leading in total shots (12-10) but as you can see there's nothing much between them.

Mbappe is 5/61.84 to score anytime with Haaland 6/52.20 but with them both seemingly inevitable these days the double on them both to score at around 10/34.33 is a perfectly reasonable bet to have in this one.

After all, Haaland has 59 goals in 52 appearances for Norway, scoring in 13 of the last 15 and a total of 25 in that time, while Mbappe incredibly has 16 goals from just 16 World Cup games.

Could they both score twice again? Well it's around a 46/147.00 shot for Haaland and Mbappe to both score 2+ goals in Boston.

Mbappe is 4/15.00 and although he doesn't score multiple goals for France too often, he loves doing it at the World Cup - with seven of 13 games with multiple goals coming in the finals. Talk about a big game player.

This is Haaland's first World Cup of course but he just loves scoring in bunches - his last six scoring games have all contained more than one goal, and they've all come in just the last eight outings, so he's very much in bulk scoring form. Haaland is 13/27.50 for 2+ goals against France.

With goals of course there's assists. Michael Olise is the master with three assists so far, and 15/82.88 to add another, but Rayan Cherki is actually favoured here at 13/82.63 as the feeling is we'll see plenty of him here, and maybe even a start.

Martin Odegaard has laid on two assists for Norway and is their top option at 9/25.50.

Mbappe, Haaland & Wolfe feature in 11/112.00 fouls Bet Builder

Neither side has received a yellow card yet, as they've been pretty dominant in games but Norway haven't been scared of getting stuck in, as with 26 fouls they've made double France's tally.

David Moller Wolfe has five of those fouls, and Norway's left-back will be in for a tough shift going up against Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and even Rayan Cherki - so I'd stick another 2+ fouls from Wolfe at 10/111.91 in your Bet Builders.

As a single or to make your Bet Builder a huge price, you could do worse than Wolfe to have 3+ fouls at 16/54.20.

And don't forget our star duo, if you either want to do individual Bet Builders on your favourite or double them up again, Haaland and Mbappe are both second on their teams in terms of fouls - Mbappe has had two and one in his games while Haaland has had two in both games so far.

So the 5/42.25 on Mbappe for a foul and 11/43.75 on Haaland for 2+ fouls are decent prices for bets that have landed in both games so far. The double on that is around a 6/17.00 shot or you can swing for the fences and include Wolfe for a big one.
