Norway - Italy: betting tip and bets with odds of 4.10

Current form

Norway is approaching the upcoming game on a four-game winning streak. Solbakken's team completed the Nations League draw on a positive note, defeating Slovenia (4:1) and Kazakhstan (5:0) in the final two rounds. With 13 points, the national team finished in first place in its group and will play in the A-League next season. It is worth noting the powerful attack of the Norwegians, led by Holland. In six matches played in the League of Nations, they managed to hit the opponents' goal 15 times.

The Scandinavian national team managed to play two matches in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup. Both matches took place on the road, in each of them the team proved itself powerfully in attack and did not leave a single chance first to Moldova (5:0), and then to Israel (4:2). Holand scored goals in each of the matches.

It should be noted that the Norwegian national team has not qualified for major international tournaments since 2000. A confident start in the current qualifying tournament gives good hopes, but it is important to score points today with the favorite of the group and not lose important points in the future with opponents inferior in class. In general, the prospects are not bad, especially considering that in the previous 10 qualifying matches for the World Cup, the Norwegians lost only once.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Norwegian national team's injured list includes Gregersen, Thorstvedt and Botheim. These are far from the key players.

Current form

The Italian national team will play its first World Cup qualifying match today. Luciano Spalletti's team had quarterfinal matches in the Nations League with the German national team during the last training camp. It was not possible to make it to the semifinals then, largely because of the weak defensive play. The Italians lost 1-2 at home, there was a 3-3 draw away, but in that second leg during the game, the German squad led 3-0, only in the second 45 minutes they managed to escape defeat.

Italy finished in second place in the group B of the League of Nations, ahead of France. Then the fate of the first place was decided just in the final round in the confrontation with the French, in which the tricolours won with a score of 3:1. As you can see, the national team is experiencing decent defensive problems: they conceded at least two goals in three consecutive matches.

During the previous World Cup qualifier, Italy went through the entire group stage without a single defeat (four wins and four draws), but finished in second place. Then they had to play play-off matches, in which the Italians sensationally lost to North Macedonia (0:1).
