Norway will be aiming to move up to the second spot in Euro 2024 Qualifiers' Group A when they take on Cyprus on Thursday at the AEK Arena.
Norway are currently third in Group A with seven points from five matches. They have won their last two qualifiers, against Cyprus and Georgia.
Cyprus are not expected to pose any real threat to Norway. The hosts have lost all their group games so far and will need a miracle to take points off Norway in their sixth attempt in the group.
