Norway and Morocco face each other in their final friendlies before the World Cup at the Sports Illustrated Stadium.
Morocco vs Norway Form and Head to Head
Morocco head into this international friendly looking to complete their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on a positive note. The Atlas Lions have enjoyed a strong run under new manager Mohamed Ouahbi and are unbeaten in their last four matches, recording three wins and a draw. Their most recent outing ended in a goalless draw against Burundi, but they remain one of the highest-ranked nations outside Europe and South America.
Norway arrive in equally confident mood after an outstanding World Cup qualifying campaign. The Scandinavians won all eight of their qualifiers, scoring 37 goals and conceding just five, while recent victories over strong opposition have enhanced their reputation as potential dark horses for the tournament. Their attacking unit, led by Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, is among the most dangerous in international football.
These nations have very little history against one another. Their only previous meeting came at the 1998 World Cup, when they played out an entertaining 2-2 draw. As a result, there is limited head-to-head data, but both sides have evolved significantly since then.

Morocco vs Norway Match Prediction
This promises to be one of the standout international friendlies of the weekend, with two genuine World Cup dark horses going head-to-head. Morocco's strengths lie in their defensive structure, tactical discipline and ability to transition quickly through players such as Hakimi and Brahim Diaz. The Atlas Lions have built their recent success on organisation and resilience, often frustrating technically gifted opponents.
Norway, meanwhile, are built around attacking quality. Their qualification campaign showcased a side capable of overwhelming opponents with pace, movement and clinical finishing. Haaland remains the headline act, but the creativity of Ødegaard and the physical presence of Sørloth give Norway multiple routes to goal.
While Morocco are more than capable of containing elite teams, Norway's current momentum is difficult to ignore. The Europeans have been scoring freely and appear to be peaking at the right moment. Expect a competitive contest with chances at both ends, but Norway's attacking depth could make the difference.
Prediction: Morocco 1-2 Norway
