Norway vs Wales Predictions & Betting Tips

Norway lost their last three matches, conceding two goals in each defeat. Wales have nothing to lose so I expect Craig Bellamy’s side to attack, BTTS my best bet in Oslo.

Norway Lose Three Straight

Norway got off to a great start in the Nations League, leading Denmark 2-0 thanks to goals from Oscar Bobb and Erling Haaland. They were pegged back before Haaland scored to secure a 3-2 victory.

The Vikings were unlucky in a 2-1 defeat to Portugal, Haaland equalising before a howler from Orjan Nyland saw them fall behind again. They couldn’t find a way back despite ending with 62% possession and 2.52-1.04 xG.

Oscar Bobb scored early in Wales but Torbjorn Heggem was sent off with the score tied at 1-1. They did well with 10 men but went down 2-1 in Cardiff.

Stale Solbakken’s side took another lead in Portugal thanks to a rare goal from Kristoffer Ajer. Norway were outplayed after that however, losing 2-1 after ending with 9-20 shots and 0.45-1.78 xG.

Fredrik Sjovold and Kristian Thorstvedt miss out here with Fredrik Aursnes and Jorgen Strand Larsen not called up due to injury.

Egil Selvik could continue in goal with Orjan Nyland falling out of favour. Eivind Helland, Felix Horn Myhre, Hugo Vetlesen and Alexander Sorloth have been called up.

Difficult Group for Wales

Wales had a tough start in the Nations League but managed to keep it close on the road.

They were second best for most of the contest in Portugal, Lewis Koumas missing a great opportunity to equalise late on in a 1-0 defeat.

The Dragons lost 2-0 in Denmark, ending with 38% possession and 0.62-1.39 xG after holding on until half time.

Craig Bellamy’s side returned to Cardiff where they had some help in a 2-1 win over Norway. Daniel James equalised before the break and Neco Williams scored after the visitors had been reduced to 10 men.

Wales had no excuses after losing 1-0 to Denmark in their previous match. They had 6-13 shots including 0.26-2.15 xG.

Wales Squad, Team News & Predicted Line Up

Goalkeepers: Danny Ward, Karl Darlow, Joe Duncan

Defenders: Ben Davies, Connor Roberts, Joe Rodon, Neco Williams, Chris Mepham, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Ben Cabango, Jay Dasilva, Jayden Lienou

Midfielders: Ethan Ampadu, Josh Sheehan, Liam Cullen, Rubin Colwill, Joel Colwill, Kai Andrews, Cian Ashford

Forwards: Harry Wilson, Daniel James, Brennan Johnson, David Brooks, Sorba Thomas, Mark Harris, Lewis Koumas, Aaron Collins

Goalkeepers Karl Darlow and Joe Duncan have been called up but Danny Ward should retain his starting spot. Joe Rodon, Rubin Colwill, Kai Andrews and David Brooks return to the squad.

Rhys Norrington-Davies, Jordan James and Wes Burns miss out with Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead injured. Daniel James might have to settle for a spot on the bench.

Wales (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward; Neco Williams, Ben Cabango, Joe Rodon, Jay Dasilva; Ethan Ampadu, Josh Sheehan; Brennan Johnson, Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas; Lewis Koumas

Verdict

Norway v Wales

Wales beat Norway 2-1 in Cardiff and although it will be a tougher assignment in Oslo, I am backing BTTS here. I don’t see how the Welsh defence can stop Erling Haaland however, the star striker to score first.
