Norway vs. New Zealand Match Preview
Norway: form and statistics
Norway are in scintillating form, having won nine straight games across all competitions. In World Cup qualifying, Landslaget has won all six games of their World Cup Qualifiers and have scored 16 goals in their last two matches, beating Moldova 11-1, before putting five past Israel. Manchester City Striker Erling Haaland tops the goal scorers charts in the UEFA qualifiers with 12 goals. Haaland will not play against New Zealand as the striker, Alexander Sorloth of Atletico Madrid, and Julian Ryerson have been given some rest. Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has departed camp due to injuries.
Norway possible starting lineup:
Nylad, Wolfe, Lysaker, Heggem, Ajer, Sebulonsen, Berg, Bergie, Bobb, Nusa, Larsen, Heggebo
Bet on Norway vs. New Zealand with Bet365New Zealand: form and statistics
All Whites have lost their last four games as they warm up for next year's World Cup against stronger opposition. Defeats to Ukraine, Australia (twice), and Poland have contrasted with their results in Oceania's qualification run, where they beat Fiji and North Caledonia by a combined 10-0 to clinch the playoff ticket. Earlier, Darren Bazebey's men had dominated their group. While England-based Chris Wood is poised to start against Norway, Elijah Just and Dalton Wikings have left the group due to injuries.
New Zealand possible starting lineup:
Paulsen; De Vries, Boxall, Surman, Payne, Stamenic, Thomas, Garbett, Singh, McCowatt, Wood.
Norway vs. New Zealand Match Prediction
Norway will be missing its biggest stars for this one, as Haaland and Odegaard have returned early to England. This provides young players with an opportunity to join the team and impress the coach. While New Zealand may have lost four on the bounce, three of the games have been by close margins. We think Norway will win comfortably. Bet on Norway to win the first half.
