Analyzing a compelling duel

I'm focusing on sports commentary, aiming for a general analysis rather than real-time updates. I want to highlight why this duel is interesting and how things have changed since their last meeting, like Saliba’s growth and France’s defensive organization as well as Haaland’s movement.

I'll cover tactical elements like France's pressing and Norway's setup, possibly involving Sorloth, and examine how France defends against crosses. It seems like Saliba will likely be featured, suggesting he is expected to play against Haaland.Considering tactical hedges

I need to consider whether Saliba will start and if so, emphasize key defensive tactics like denying turns, shepherding to weaker foot, and blocking cutbacks.

Looking at head-to-head notes, Arsenal successfully kept Haaland quiet in two league matches during the 23-24 season. He had zero shots and zero touches in the box at the Emirates, and even in the Etihad draw, he had no shots with only twelve touches. I’ll phrase it as "Arsenal held Haaland to minimal service and no big chances across both games."Analyzing Norway's tactics

It seems safe to discuss how Norway could approach the game, using strategies like early balls to isolate the fullback channel or set-piece threats, especially with Ajer and Ostigard contributing. Haaland and Ødegaard will be crucial for deliveries.

For predicted lineups, I’ll keep it generic, suggesting France plays a 4-2-3-1 with Mbappé and Griezmann, while Norway could go for a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Haaland and Ødegaard.

I can also summarize netizen comments in a paraphrased form without heavy formatting, focusing on key matchups and tactical factors to watch in the early minutes, set pieces, and refereeing.
