Wales - Norway: Match Preview
Wales earned promotion to League A after the previous UEFA Nations League campaign, but their debut in the top division has been a difficult one. Wales lost 0:1 to Portugal and 0:2 to Denmark and are currently the only League A team yet to score a goal. Craig Bellamy will be hoping that the situation changes in Wales' first home match of the tournament.
Norway are currently second in the group and will look to bounce back after Sunday's defeat to Portugal. The Vikings have lost to this opponent in their last two meetings, but both games took place more than ten years ago. Since then, Norway's squad has undergone significant changes, and the current team boasts one of the most potent attacks in Europe. They managed to reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup and gave England a real fight, but ultimately lost 1:2 in extra time.
Match Facts and H2H
- Wales are winless in six consecutive matches.
- Wales have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive matches.
- Norway have lost two of their last three matches.
- Norway have failed to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive matches.
- Wales thrashed Norway 4:1 in their last meeting. That game took place back in 2011.
Probable Lineups

- Norway: Nyland; Aursnes, Ajer, Lysaker Heggem, Ryerson; Odegaard, Berge, Berg; Bobb, Haaland, Nusa
Prediction
Wales thrashed Norway 4:1 in their last meeting, but I think the situation is different now. I am backing Norway to win at odds of 1.47.
