I believe it is a very realistic possibility that Haaland will score today. In the Norwegian national team's offense, almost everything revolves around Haaland. Odegaard constantly feeds Haaland the ball. During the match, there will be plenty of balls around the penalty area where Haaland feels like a fish in water. Set pieces such as corners and side kicks are one of Haaland's strengths due to his height and physical strength. Senegal does not have a strong enough defender to match with Haaland. Senegal's defenders often go for challenges and play aggressively, which can leave spaces behind them where Haaland is especially dangerous when running into free spaces. After losing the first game, I doubt if Senegal will play defensively. A draw won't satisfy them, so the game should be more open. If Norway were to receive a penalty kick, Haaland would certainly be the first choice taker, although he doesn't take them very often. Senegal's full backs are perhaps the weakest part of their team. On the other hand, Norway has strong full backs and good delivery into the penalty area, where Haaland reigns. In 8 qualifying matches, Haaland has scored 16 goals. In the first match, he was in great form. Almost every Norwegian attack ends with Haaland taking a shot or at least touching the ball. With so many opportunities, it only takes one good moment for him to make an impact. Senegal's coach himself mentioned that the team has weaknesses in defense. Today, Haaland has a great opportunity to shine.
