Upcoming Predictions for Football
Norway national football team
In the qualification process for UEFA EURO 2020, Norway played in Group F, where the team fought with Sweden for the second position. At the end of the qualification, Lars Lagerback's wards scored 17 points (four wins, five draws, and one defeat), finishing the stage in third place.

Statistics
- Gibraltar has been defeated 11 times in their last 15 matches in all competitions.
- Norway is unbeaten in 12 of their 15 previous games in all competitions.
- Norway has never conceded more than one goal in 12 of their 15 previous matches.
Our Prediction
The Norwegian national team begins the qualifying cycle for the World Cup with ambitions to correct previous mistakes and win a ticket to the tournament. A more convenient start than a match against an opponent of a lower class cannot be imagined for the Scandinavians.
The Gibraltar team has been performing well against the rivals of their level, but in the upcoming game, the modest team will hardly be able to avoid a major defeat.
Erling Haaland is in excellent shape and will definitely be focused on the opponent’s goal.
Our prediction is a victory for Norway with a handicap (-3.5) which can be bet with 1.76 odds on 1xbet.
