Norway vs Kosovo prediction and betting tips - June 5, 2024
Kosovo
Another friendly match will take place on Wednesday evening in the capital of Norway, where the Norwegian national team will host Kosovo at "Ullevaal Stadion". Here is a prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
Norway
It must be acknowledged that many neutral football fans were anticipating this team’s participation in the European Championship. For the first time in many years, Norway boasts not just good players, but global football stars. Nonetheless, in the qualifying campaign, Norway lagged behind Spain and Scotland, amassing only 11 points in 8 matches.
Surprisingly, the coaching staff led by Ståle Solbakken remained in charge despite such a disappointing result. The "Drills" continued to disappoint, losing 1:2 at home to the Czech Republic. Following that, they drew 1:1 with Slovakia at home, conceding a goal in the 87th minute.
Kosovo
The Kosovo national team performed much worse in the recent Euro 24 qualifying campaign compared to their Euro 2020 qualification. Back then, the "Dardanians" lost in the playoffs. In the latest campaign, they finished only fifth, behind Belarus.
The Football Federation decided to change the head coach, appointing Franco Foda at the helm of Kosovo this year. In his debut match, Kosovo narrowly defeated Armenia. However, they subsequently lost 0:2 to a strong Hungarian team.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
