Wales were always expected to find life hard after gaining promotion to the top tier of the Nations League and another tough test awaits when they entertain Norway . The Dragons showed plenty of spirit when visiting Portugal and Denmark but returned home empty-handed and now must take on Erling Haaland , Martin Odegaard and Co.
We’re going with a BOYLE Sports price boost of 6/5 for an away win and over 2.5 goals in the game for our first Wales vs Norway prediction.

Head-to-Head
Wales vs Norway head-to-head record
Wales can at least take heart from having won the last two meetings between these sides, prevailing 3-0 and 4-1 in home friendlies, but the most recent of those matches was almost 15 years ago.

Form Guides
Wales form guide
Craig Bellamy’s side are still without a point and a goal in this competition after going down 1-0 in Portugal and then 2-0 away to Denmark . Having put in a positive performance in Lisbon , Bellamy made six changes for the trip to Copenhagen , where Gustav Isaksen added to a Ben Davies own goal.
Neco Williams had a late header ruled out but, in truth, Wales were lucky not to concede four or five at Parken Stadium . Bellamy admitted: “I’m really hurting. When you see an athletic team run over you a little bit…but then, will we improve? I think we will. This team will get better, these players will keep improving.”
Reverting to a first-choice forward line and returning home to Cardiff City Stadium should help, with Wales having at least hit the back of the net in nine of the last 10 internationals in front of their own fans. The visitors are still rated a level above, though, so 19/10 for an away win and both teams to score stands out from the Wales vs Norway odds.
Norway form guide
Norway have climbed as high as 18 th in the FIFA rankings following a successful World Cup campaign and a lively start to this tournament. Over the summer, Haaland’s double helped them enjoy a memorable 2-1 triumph over Brazil in the round of 16 before only losing out 2-1 to England in extra-time.
Head coach Stale Solbakken has been at the helm since 2020 and his settled squad started out in this competition with a 3-2 home win over Denmark , when Fulham’s Oscar Bobb broke the deadlock before Haaland bagged another brace. The Manchester City hitman was again on target against Portugal in Oslo , but that strike, his 65 th in 57 international appearances, was not enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat.
Arsenal playmaker Odegaard is the other true star of this team, but the supporting cast is also strong if Solbakken opts to shuffle his pack, including exciting RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa and Crystal Palace forward Jorgen Strand Larsen. The visitors have gone 10 games without keeping a clean sheet, though, so 7/1 for a 2-1 away win is added to our Wales vs Norway betting tips.
