Wales head into this fixture knowing they must pick up a result to help their relegation chances from Nations League A, as they take on a Norway side looking to bounce back from a defeat to Portugal.
Craig Bellamy’s Wales have endured a difficult start to life in League A. They opened their campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Portugal before losing 2-0 away to Denmark, leaving them bottom of Group A4 without a point from their opening two matches.
Wales have not won an international fixture since November 2025, and the Dragons have since gone winless in their previous six matches, whilst not keeping a clean sheet in their last seven games, as they try to defend against the ruthless nature of Erling Haaland.
Unsurprisingly, Erling Haaland leads the scoring charts for Norway in the Nations League with three goals in two matches thus far. Haaland has averaged an incredible 6.5 shots per game, with four shots on target on average in this competition. Haaland is in excellent form for club and country with six goals in his previous four matches.
Norway have won three of their previous five matches, with their only defeats coming against England & Portugal. Norway have scored first in four of their previous five matches and have won their last four competitive matches away from home against European opposition.
Norway certainly have the pedigree to beat Wales in this fixture. Wales have not looked impressive at all, failing to score in both Nations League thus far, so despite having home advantage, we can see a Norway win here.
Wales 1-3 Norway
