Nations League action is coming thick and fast this week, including an intriguing Saturday-evening contest between Norway and Wales.
Rather surprisingly, World Cup 2026 quarter-finalists Norway sit bottom of this League A group ahead of kick-off, behind the Welsh on goal difference.
However, both teams are only three points away from second-placed Denmark, so the standings could look very different after the conclusion of Matchday 5.
Our full preview is available below, which includes some sports betting picks and the latest Nations League odds.

Norway vs Wales Preview
Recent results
Norway opened their Nations League account with a 3-2 victory over Scandinavian rivals Denmark, before suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Portugal. It was then back-to-back 2-1 away losses to Wales and Portugal for Stale Solbakken’s side.
The former of those results was, of course, huge for Wales boss Craig Bellamy, though the Red Dragons did lose 1-0 at home to Denmark on Matchday 4. Wales’ first two games in this competition saw them beaten by Portugal (1-0) and then the Danes (2-0).
Head-to-head record
Wales went seven matches without claiming a single victory over Norway, but have now won each of the last three. However, all of those games were on home soil, with the Norwegians triumphing in the previous three contests hosted in front of their fans.

Norway vs Wales Betting Tips
Norway total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.78
Norway love scoring in front of their own fans, with the team netting over 2.5 goals in seven of the last eight competitive home games. The only exception was the 2-1 loss to Portugal on Matchday 2, but you have to fancy things to revert to type here. Haaland is in typically great form, while Martin Odegaard has rediscovered his mojo at Arsenal – ominous signs for the Red Dragons.
Norway to win and both teams to score – Yes @ 2.49
Norway’s last seven competitive victories – including matches at World Cup 2026 – saw this BTTS-themed pick land, so it is a selection well worth backing again here. Wales having Wilson back in the fold after he missed the previous internationals due to injury is massive, and he seriously enhances their chances of finding the back of the net.
Player to score two or more – Erling Haaland @ 2.49
Haaland sits at just 1.33 in the Anytime Goalscorer market, which is a ridiculously low price. He is also at 2.55 to net the first goal of the game, so we are opting for this multi-goal pick to get better odds and also remove the risk attached to the word ‘first’. Haaland scored two or more goals in eight of his previous 13 competitive international appearances, a quite ridiculous record.
