Norway's equivalent sample reads 9 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses, with 40 goals for and 33 against. It's a more even record, and the goals column suggests they've been more of a threat going forward than Wales have managed. Worth noting both samples blend friendlies, qualifiers and even some U18 fixtures, so it's not a clean run of league-style form.

Norway's underlying numbers look sturdier across the board, though the sample isn't a single consistent competition.

Head-to-head: Norway have had the upper hand

There are two recorded meetings between these sides. Norway won 5-0 in a 2021 qualifier and 3-1 in a friendly back in June this year. Both results point the same way.

Both of those matches were played at Norway's home ground, though. This time Wales are the hosts, which is a different setup to anything in the recorded history here.

The head-to-head record favours Norway, but it doesn't tell us much about how Wales perform with home advantage of their own.

What might this game look like?

Wales' recent matches have often been high-scoring against them, with several defeats by three or four goals or more. That points to a side who can be got at defensively.

Norway haven't been watertight either, shipping goals in a fair few games themselves, but they've also found the net regularly. Put both patterns together and goals at both ends wouldn't be a surprise, though nothing here confirms how either side will actually set up on the day.
