Score prediction

Team News 

Jorgen Strand Larsen and Fredrik Aursnes have both withdrawn from the Norway squad through injury, but all-time leading goalscorer Erling Haaland will spearhead the Vikings’ attack. Captain Martin Odegaard will play a supporting role, with Haaland expected to be flanked by Antonio Nusa and Andreas Schjelderup.

Kieffer Moore is out of the Wales squad with an injury, while Nathan Broadhead remains sidelined. Liverpool’s Lewis Koumas is likely to lead the line again, with Harry Wilson, Daniel James and Brennan Johnson all vying to support the Liverpool man.

Need to know

Wales beat Norway 2-1 last month in their first head-to-head encounter since November 2011.

Both Wales and Norway have made a disappointing start to this UEFA Nations League campaign, each losing three of their opening four matches.

Prediction 

Norway may have started the UEFA Nations League in poor form, but they remain a huge attacking threat and that should lead to plenty of goals in Oslo on Saturday.

Both teams have scored in all four of their Nations League outings, extending their run of goals at both ends to 12 matches. Their goalless draw with Switzerland in March is the only time that both teams to score has not landed in over a year, while Wales head to Oslo without a clean sheet in their last nine fixtures.

Vikings star Erling Haaland is the hot favourite to contribute to the scoresheet, too. He is the country’s leading all-time goalscorer with 65 goals in 59 appearances and he has notched three of those in four Nations League outings. 

Neco Williams is a surprise attacking threat from the Wales back line, too. No Wales player has had more than his five shots and two on target, and one of those on-target efforts came in the reverse fixture against Wales last month.

Back Both teams to score, Erling Haaland to score & Neco Williams over 0.5 shots on target at 9.5/1 with LiveScore Bet
