France and Norway have unveiled their starting lineups ahead of their highly anticipated international clash, with both managers selecting strong sides as they battle for a crucial result.
Norway will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Egil Selvik starting in goal. The back four consists of Fredrik Aursnes, Henrik Falchener, Leo Østigård and Fredrik Bjørkan.
Captain Patrick Berg anchors the midfield alongside Kristian Thorstvedt, while Thelo Aasgaard operates in the attacking midfield role. Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb starts on the left, with Andreas Schjelderup occupying the opposite flank. Jørgen Strand Larsen leads the line as Norway’s lone striker.
France also deploy a 4-2-3-1 system, with Mike Maignan between the posts. Theo Hernández, Maxence Lacroix, Dayot Upamecano and Jules Koundé make up the defensive unit.
Manu Koné and Aurélien Tchouaméni form the midfield partnership, providing balance behind an exciting attacking trio of Désiré Doué, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembélé. Captain Kylian Mbappé spearheads the French attack as Les Bleus look to continue their impressive form.
With quality spread across both teams, the encounter promises to be an entertaining contest featuring some of Europe’s brightest talents. Norway will rely on the creativity of Bobb and Schjelderup to supply Larsen, while France’s attacking quartet, led by Mbappé, will aim to break down a disciplined Norwegian defence.
