Preview: World Cup Qualification UEFA – 2025/2026 – Norway VS Italy

Predicted Lineup

Team News

  • Norway have a fully fit squad for their welcome of Italy on Friday night.
  • Patrick Berg is expected to partner Sander Berge in the middle of the park, with Martin Odegaard pushed to the right.
  • Jorgen Strand Larsen is unlikely to start ahead of Alexander Sorloth and Erling Haaland in attack.

Prediction

  • Norway have claimed two wins from two as they made a flying start to their World Cup qualification campaign, scoring nine goals in the process. Friday’s welcome of Italy will prove their toughest test yet, however.
  • The Azzurri get World Cup qualifying underway but have been in poor form, failing to win their last three, losing two of those. Luciano Spalletti has overseen just two wins from the last six.
  • With home advantage and a fully fit squad, Norway may just make it three wins from three at Italy’s expense.
