Morocco and Norway will meet at Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey as part of their preparations for the World Cup in the United States. Morocco arrive with an unbeaten run since 2025, while Norway come in full of confidence after a strong qualification campaign.

Team Analysis:
Morocco head into the 2026 World Cup in outstanding form, riding an unbeaten run since 2025 and coming off a perfect qualification campaign where they won all eight matches. Norway also arrive in strong shape after ending a long absence from the tournament with a dominant qualifying run led by Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, setting up high expectations for both sides.

Player Situation:
Morocco may be without Achraf Hakimi as he continues his recovery, with Noussair Mazraoui likely filling in at right-back while Brahim Diaz and Ayoub El Kaabi push for starting roles. Norway, meanwhile, are expected to rely on key attacking options like Erling Haaland and Alexander Sørloth, with Julian Ryerson and Jens Petter Hauge also competing for places after strong recent performances.

Result Prediction:
Morocco and Norway, both seen as potential dark horses for the upcoming World Cup, are expected to show mutual respect when they meet in New Jersey. As both sides adjust to the North American conditions, a cautious and balanced draw looks likely ahead of the tournament.

Predicted Result: Morocco 1-1 Norway.
