## Key points

- Wales beat Norway 2-1 in Cardiff last month.
- James expects Norway to seek a response in Oslo.
- A win could boost Wales’ Euro 2028 qualifying seeding.

## Summary

Dan James says Wales expect Norway to be especially motivated when the sides meet in Oslo, after Wales beat them 2-1 in Cardiff last month. That victory helped restore confidence in Craig Bellamy’s side after a difficult start to their Nations League campaign, and a repeat result would strengthen Wales’ position in the group.

Norway have since been criticised after further defeats, including a home loss to Portugal that ended a 12-match unbeaten run in competitive matches at Ullevaal Stadion. James, who is set to earn his 69th cap, says Wales will focus on their own performance. A win could put them close to securing third place and a top seeding pot for Euro 2028 qualifying, though they may still need a play-off to retain their League A status.
