Only 20% of participants in the World Cup Prophet prediction game believe Norway will defeat France, according to data from VG. This low confidence level arrives as the competition introduces a new celebrity league, which participants describe as more demanding than previous formats.
Why is the Norway-France match seen as an uphill battle?
Public sentiment among predictors heavily favors France. According to VG, only one in five people participating in the “Folkets VM-tips” (People’s World Cup tips) have selected Norway to win the matchup. This statistical gap reflects a widespread belief that Norway faces a significant disadvantage against the French side.
How does the new celebrity league change the competition?
The competition has expanded to include a dedicated celebrity league, known as the kjendisligaen. Participants entering this tier expect a higher level of difficulty. According to VG, those joining the celebrity circuit have stated the experience will be more demanding than the standard prediction game.

What are the experts predicting for the tournament?
Experienced predictors suggest the upcoming phase of the competition will be grueling. A former winner of the “prophet” competition shared insights via Stavanger Aftenblad, describing the current prediction environment as extremely difficult.
I think it will be bone-hard.
