What to expect from Italy vs Norway World Cup Qualifier?
Both sides are desperate to secure an invite to the World Cup party. Norway have only mixed it with the best teams on the planet on three occasions in the past, with the most recent of those occurring almost 20 years ago (France ’98). More astonishingly, the 4-time world champions, Italy, failed to qualify for either the 2018 and 2022 World Cup Finals and the pressure is building on Azzurri boss, Gennaro Gattuso, to get them over the line this time.
Norway got their qualifying campaign off to a flyer back in March, winning 5-0 in Moldova and they haven’t taken their foot off the gas since. The Røde, Hvite, Blå are on a four-game winning streak on the road, netting 14 times during those matches. Unsurprisingly, Erling Haaland scored in each of those away matches and Norway’s lethal hitman has now got the remarkable international record of scoring 51 times in 46 appearances for his country. The defence is also worthy of praise. They have a settled backline with David Wolfe, Julian Ryerson and Kristoffer Ajer being constant starters, along with Orjan Nyland between the sticks.
As well as being on the hunt for vital qualifying points, Italy will be keen to avenge the painful 3-0 setback they suffered at the hands of Norway back in June. It was their heaviest defeat since a 5-2 loss to Germany in 2022. The Oslo humiliation also brought an end to Luciano Spalletti’s reign as Italian boss, with Gattuso taking over the reins.
