Wales coach Craig Bellamy is ready to throw the kitchen sink at Norway as his side fight to stay in the top tier of the Nations League . The Dragons are third in Group A4 and facing a possible relegation play-off after picking up three points from four games in a pool dominated by reigning champions Portugal .
However, with only three points separating Denmark in second and Norway in fourth heading into the final two rounds, there is still all to play for. As well as battling to avoid relegation, Wales also still have a chance of reaching the quarter-finals and Bellamy knows now is not the time for circumspection.
He said: “We have two games and that allows us to really attack them. The intensity dropped last time, especially in our last game, and there’s no hiding place. This time, I see Norway as a game to go all out, and if it doesn’t go our way we still have an opportunity against Portugal .”
Wales claimed a 2-1 comeback win over 10-man Norway in Cardiff last month - their first victory in League A - but we can see Erling Haaland and company gaining revenge in Oslo . Our opening Norway vs Wales prediction is a home win & BTTS @ 15/8 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost .

Form Guides
Norway form guide
Norway carried the momentum of their World Cup exploits, where they reached the quarter-finals before suffering an extra-time defeat to England , into their opening Nations League clash with Denmark as they made a flying start.
Oscar Bobb’s early strike and a Haaland brace earned them a 3-2 victory over their Scandinavian rivals and top spot in the group. However, Stale Solbakken’s men have failed to pick up a single point since then, losing home and away to Portugal either side of their Cardiff defeat - all three matches finishing 2-1. Looking at the Norway vs Wales odds, an identical scoreline in their favour on Saturday is 9/1, with Norway yet to lose in five home meetings with the Welsh .
On the goalscoring front, Haaland , who ranks second for both shots and shots on target in this year’s Nations League , is always a good option and is @ 6/5 to net at least twice, while Bobb is 15/8 to notch his third of the campaign. We also think rising star Antonio Nusa could get on the scoresheet @ 7/4. The lightning-quick winger has struck six times for RB Leipzig this season, including two in his last three appearances.
Wales form guide
Wales have found life tough on their return to Nations League A and three defeats in four games has left them in danger of immediately dropping back down a level. However, the fact Portugal are running away with the group, boasting a 100 per cent record, means that each of Wales , Denmark and Norway could yet snatch second place, or finish bottom.
Wales got off to a poor start after being handed trips to Portugal and Denmark in their opening two matches, Bellamy’s men finishing pointless and goalless. They responded with a home victory over Norway but then suffered a body blow as Denmark snatched a 1-0 win in Cardiff thanks to Rasmus Hojlund’s 75th-minute penalty.
Goals have been an issue for Wales in 2026, netting only six times in eight matches since thrashing North Macedonia 7-1 a year ago, but that could change if Bellamy gives them licence to go on the offensive. Daniel James , who has scored against Bosnia and Norway this year, is 5/1 to net at any time while Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas is 4/1 as he looks to transfer his promising club form onto the international stage.
