It is all still to play for in pursuit of Portugal in Nations League Group A4 and both Norway and Wales will be targeting maximum points in Oslo.
Four wins from four means Portugal are in complete control of the section, while Denmark sit second on six points after two victories and two defeats.
Norway and Wales have only one win apiece, but victory at the Ullevaal Stadion would keep their hopes of a top-two finish firmly alive.
Wales came from a goal down to inflict a 2-1 defeat on ten-man Norway in Cardiff in October and they will be hoping that they can repeat the trick.
However, Norway showed in reaching the World Cup quarter-final, where they suffered an extra-time defeat to England, that they are a nation firmly on the up with a number of world-class assets including Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Arsenal ace Martin Odegaard.
Norway v Wales Tips Summary
Best Bet - Norway to win & both teams to score @ 6/4
Alternative Bet - Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card @ 15/8
Bet Builder - Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer, Benjamin Cabango to be shown a card, Sorba Thomas to score or assist @ 12/1
Norway v Wales Prediction
Best Bet: Norway to win & both teams to score @ 8/5
Norway kickstarted their Nations League campaign with a thrilling 3-2 win at home to Denmark but things have gone downhill ever since.
A 2-1 defeat in Wales has been sandwiched between a pair of losses by the same scoreline home and away against Portugal and they are now on a recovery mission.
Norway have an array of attacking talent at their disposal, spearheaded by Haaland with Odegaard pulling the strings, but defensive deficiencies continue to haunt them.
Both teams have scored in 16 of their last 17 matches, which includes all six of their matches at the World Cup, and that should offer Wales some hope.
However, Wales’s only win in their last eight matches came at home to Norway and it could be a different story in Oslo.
The Dragons have triumphed only twice in their last ten away games and those victories came at Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein.
Norway should provide the response that they are looking for, but they rarely deal in clean sheets and Wales caused them countless problems with deliveries into the box in Cardiff.
Alternative Bet: Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card @ 15/8
Ethan Ampadu is as vital to Wales as anyone and the hard-tackling midfielder may struggle to avoid a card in a must-win game against a strong Norway side.
Ampadu was one of five cards in Wales’s 2-1 win in the reverse fixture and he has been booked four times in ten Premier League appearances for Leeds this season.
Ampadu’s 67 caps for Wales have featured 16 yellows and one red and he may add to that tally in Oslo.
Norway v Wales Bet Builder Tip
Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer
Benjamin Cabango to be shown a card
Sorba Thomas to score or assist
Pays @ 12/1
Norway’s fixtures tend to throw up a high number of goals and, having scored ten goals in his last nine appearances for his country, Haaland is likely to be at the centre of attention.
Wales winger Sorba Thomas caused Norway countless problems with his pinpoint delivery in Cardiff, assisting the equaliser for Dan James, and he could enhance his tally of eight goal contributions in 31 caps.
Swansea centre-back Benjamin Cabango has the tough task of trying to mark Haaland out of the game and the prospects of a physical battle could leave him vulnerable to a card.
Cabango has been booked in two of his four Nations League appearances.
