Norway vs Wales Match Summary

Norway host Wales at Ullevaal Stadion in a UEFA Nations League A clash with real bite, as two sides level on three points scrap to steer clear of relegation to League B.

Norway have lost their way after a bright opening, yet home soil and a squad close to full strength give them every reason to fancy this one.

Craig Bellamy has promised Wales will 'fight fire with fire' rather than sit deep, a bold stance for an away side without the injured Kieffer Moore.

The head-to-head leans towards the visitors: Wales have won their last three matches against Norway in all competitions, so this is as much about pride as points for the home side.

Norway vs Wales Form

Norway started this campaign by edging Denmark 3-2, but it has gone south since, with three straight defeats leaving Stale Solbakken's side near the foot of the log. The good news is that Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard are both fit, and that pair remain the difference between a stubborn Norway and a dangerous one.

Wales have collected just three points from a possible 12, so their campaign has been a slog. Craig Bellamy's side are not done yet, though, and still harbour faint hopes of climbing out of trouble. Ethan Ampadu remains the constant in the engine room, while Brennan Johnson is the likeliest outlet on the right.

Norway vs Wales Bet Builder

Our Norway vs Wales bet builder tips combine a home win, Erling Haaland to score anytime, both teams to score and Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card.

Norway (Win Market) follows our call of a home win. With Wales promising to go toe-to-toe rather than sit in, space should open up for Antonio Nusa and Andreas Schjelderup out wide.

Erling Haaland (Anytime Goalscorer): in UEFA Nations League A, the striker has attempted 3+ shots in three of his past four appearances. Give him that sort of volume and he rarely stays quiet in front of goal.

Both Teams To Score (Yes): both sides have netted in 4 of Norway's last 4 matches in UEFA Nations League A. Wales have also scored at least two goals in their last three matches against Norway in all competitions.

Ethan Ampadu (To Be Shown A Card): the midfielder is a near-fixture in the Wales engine room, and screening the back four against Ødegaard and company leaves little room to stay out of the referee's notebook.

Norway vs Wales Talking Points

The headline battle is Erling Haaland against a Wales side short of bodies. Craig Bellamy has called stopping the striker a 'collective responsibility', demanding tight distances between his players and smart use of the ball so Haaland cannot dictate play. Behind him, Martin Ødegaard is the man who makes Norway tick, and he is the one Ethan Ampadu and Josh Sheehan must keep quiet in the engine room. Bellamy has also warned his squad that Norway will treat this as a revenge mission on home turf, played at high intensity. With the hosts having won only one previous meeting between these sides, there is plenty of pride riding on the result at Ullevaal.
