Wales out to derail Norway’s repair job in Oslo

Wales face Norway in Oslo with both teams seeking to revive their Nations League campaigns and avoid relegation from the top tier. The match also matters for Euro 2028 qualifying, as finishing third or higher would secure top seeding and help avoid the strongest sides.

Norway arrive after three consecutive defeats, despite a recent run that included World Cup quarter-final qualification and a win over Brazil. They have one victory in four Group A4 games and sit level on three points with Wales, who beat Norway in Cardiff last month. Wales head coach Craig Bellamy says his side must match Norway’s expected intensity; the hosts have also been clearing snow from a stadium pitch that has drawn criticism before.
