Norway
WLWWWW 📈
Norway will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 2-4 WC Qualifiers - Europe success vs Israel.
In that game, Norway had 55% possession and 23 attempts on goal with 12 on target. For Norway, the goalscorers were David Møller Wolfe (39'), Alexander Sørloth (59'), Kristoffer Ajer (65') and Erling Haaland (83'). At the other end, Israel got 10 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Mohammad Abu Fani (55') and Dor Turgeman (93') scored for Israel.
Matches featuring Norway have proved to be exciting ones recently with plenty of scoring expected. Over their past six games, a total of 30 goals have been recorded for both sides combined (at an average of 5 goals per game) with 22 of those belonging to Norway. We will have to see if that trend will be sustained here.
Italy
DWWLLD ⚖

In that game, Italy had 43% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For Italy, the goals were scored by Moise Kean (49', 69') and Giacomo Raspadori (95'). Germany got 22 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Joshua Kimmich (30'), Jamal Musiala (36') and Tim Kleindienst (45') scored for Germany.

🔮
Prediction
Our thinking is that Italy and Norway should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We’re therefore seeing a tight encounter, finishing with a score draw at full-time.
