Key Players to Watch in Norway vs Kazakhstan

Antonio Nusa (Norway)

Antonio Nusa was the star man in their recent commanding triumph over Slovenia scoring a magnificent brace to secure crucial three points to take a step closer to first place finish. The 19-year-old gifted and explosive winger caused all sorts of trouble to the opposition in his previous 71 minutes of outings and will look to build on his exceptional form and find the back of the net in a second straight outing for his country.

Erling Haaland (Norway)

The man who needs no introductions, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and currently the world’s best targetman was involved in two goals in his latest appearance. He scored the second goal and created a chance for Jens Petter Hauge to bag the fourth goal to beat Slovenia 4-1 at home. The 24-year-old will be leading the attack wearing a captain armband in the absence of Martin Odegaard.

Norway vs Kazakhstan Prediction

Norway will be walking into this fixture as clear favourites and would be optimistic to grab a win over struggling Kazakhstan who have been winless in their last 9 outings across all competitions and have only managed a single point so far. In addition, the hosts are in good form coming on the back of big results and possess some of the biggest footballing stars in their squad.

Ståle Solbakken’s side should emerge victorious in this home clash to secure automatic qualifications to League A surpassing Austria on the table though they would be expecting favour from Slovenia to do so. We predict Norway to win the game courtesy of a 3-0 scoreline on home solid in front of their fans.

Predicted Score: Norway 3-0 Kazakhstan
