Wales vs Norway Predictions & Betting Tips - Haaland to Fire Norway to Victory in the Nations League
Norway is backed to secure a win over Wales in their UEFA Nations League clash, thanks in large part to Erling Haaland's prolific goal-scoring form—netting 10 goals in his last 7 matches. Despite Wales' occasional defensive solidity and home advantage, recent struggles in the league and key injuries weaken their case. Norway's dynamic attack, strong recent record, and motivation to bounce back after a narrow loss to Portugal position them as favorites for the away win. Expect a competitive game, but Norway’s firepower gives them the edge.
- Wales have been struggling in League A of the Nations League
- Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in his last 7 games for Norway
- I am backing Haaland to fire the visitiors to victory in Cardiff
Norway will be desperate to get back to winning ways after an unlucky defeat to Portugal. They have the weapons to win in Wales where Erling Haaland is likely to continue his incredible form up front.
Key Stats
- Wales have lost 7 of their last 8 matches in League A (Nations League).
- Norway have won 15 of their last 18 competitive matches.
- Norway’s Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in his last 7 matches for club and country.
HTH
Norway have have a 4-3 advantage against Wales alongside four draws.
The last meeting came in a friendly in 2011, Gareth Bale and Craig Bellamy on target as Wales won 4-1 in Cardiff.
Dragons Outclassed in League A
Wales are yet to score in the Nations League, beginning with a 1-0 defeat in Portugal. They were outclassed for the majority of the match but Lewis Koumas should have equalised late on.
Craig Bellamy’s side stayed on the road and lost 2-0 in Denmark. Once again they found it tough, ending with 38% possession and 0.62-1.39 xG.

Haaland's Form Continues for Norway
Norway impressed at the World Cup, beating Senegal, Ivory Coast and Brazil on their way to the quarter-finals. They took England to extra time where they went down 2-1.
The Vikings led 2-0 against Denmark in their Nations League opener thanks to goals from Oscar Bobb and Erling Haaland. The visitors equalised before Haaland scored again to secure a 3-2 victory.
Stale Solbakken’s side stayed in Oslo where they went down 2-1 to Portugal. Haaland equalised before a howler from Orjan Nyland saw Norway fall behind again, there was no way back despite ending with 62% possession and 2.52-1.04 xG.

Oscar Bobb is a chance to replace Andreas Schjelderup on the right wing. Sander Tangvik could make his debut in goal after Orjan Nyland’s struggles.
Norway (4-3-3): Sander Tangvik; Fredrik Aursnes, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjorn Heggem, David Moller Wolfe; Martin Odegaard, Sander Berge, Patrick Berg; Oscar Bobb, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa
Verdict
Erling Haaland can’t stop scoring at the moment and it’s unlikely Wales can stop his run. Wales can score in Cardiff, but Norway have far more weapons in attack.
