Norway vs Kazakhstan Prediction: 17/11/2024

Norway will face Kazakhstan in Sunday’s Nations League matchup, with fans looking forward to the action.

Norway comes into this match looking to recover from a heavy 5-1 defeat to Austria in their previous Nations League game. In that match, Norway managed 34% possession and had eight shots, with only one on target, scored by Alexander Sørloth in the 39th minute. Austria, meanwhile, registered 16 attempts with 10 on target, with goals from Marko Arnautović, Philipp Lienhart, Stefan Posch, and Michael Gregoritsch. Norway’s recent games have seen plenty of goals, with five of their last six matches featuring three or more goals. In this period, Norway scored 10 times but also conceded nine.

Kazakhstan, on the other hand, is hoping for a better result after a narrow 1-0 loss to Slovenia in their last Nations League fixture. Kazakhstan had 52% possession and seven shots, with three on target, but were unable to find the back of the net, while Slovenia scored through Jan Mlakar in the 55th minute. Kazakhstan has struggled offensively in their recent games, scoring only three goals in their last six matches, while conceding a total of 13.

In their previous Nations League encounter on September 6, 2024, the two teams played out a 0-0 draw. Kazakhstan had limited possession at 29% and managed four shots with none on target, while Norway had 19 shots, two of which were on target.

Norway’s coach Ståle Solbakken has a fully fit squad to choose from, as does Kazakhstan’s manager Stanislav Cherchesov, with no reported injuries for either side.

 

Prediction

Kazakhstan will likely struggle to break through Norway’s defense, and Norway is expected to dominate. A convincing 4-0 victory for Norway seems likely, with over 1.5 goals anticipated in the game.
