Norway v Wales confirmed lineups and team news

Wales will be looking to keep their hopes of reaching the UEFA Nations League knockout stages alive in a crucial fixture against Norway in Oslo.

Craig Bellamy's men picked up their first win of the UEFA Nations League campaign against the Norwegians in Cardiff as goals from Daniel James and Neco Williams saw them come from behind to triumph 2-1.

However, Wales were beaten by Denmark in their last home outing, which leaves the Dragons in a precarious predicament as a loss this evening could leave them staring at relegation to League B.

Norway started their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 3-2 win over Denmark, but 2-1 defeats to Portugal home and away were sandwiched by the loss to Wales, leaving Stale Solbakken's side bottom of the group.
