Will Norway get back to winning ways?
Open poll and resultsNorway vs Wales prediction
Both Norway and Wales are locked together on three points with two group games remaining, so this is a massive encounter for both teams in their bid not just to avoid relegation, but also to reach the quarter-finals. The last time these nations collided, it was Wales who came out on top, beating Norway by two goals to one and lifting themselves off the bottom of the table.
Expect Norway to come out of the blocks flying in a bid to flatten Wales with their offensive firepower and in Oslo, you would expect Stale Solbakken side to dominate. Key to their success will of course be Erling Haaland. The Man City striker boasts three goals across Norway's two home fixtures so far in the Nations League and assuming the hosts do overcome Wales, expect Haaland to have played a big part in front of goal.
