Norway national football team
Turkey national football team
The national teams of Norway and Turkey kicked off in the qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup with victories. Who will continue the successful streak in Oslo on March 27? We present our prediction and betting options for this confrontation.
Norway national football team
In the opening round of the qualifying, Norway played with Gibraltar on the road. It was not difficult for the Scandinavian team to beat a modest rival, as they sent three unanswered goals to Gibraltar (3:0).
As a reminder, Lars Lagerbäck's wards did not qualify for UEFA EURO 2020. In the main qualification, the Norwegians took third place in Group F, where the first two positions were taken by the Swedes and the Spaniards. In the playoffs, the team stopped at the semifinal stage, losing at home to Serbia in additional halves (1:2).
Upcoming Predictions for Football
Turkey national football team
Turkey started the qualification very powerfully, smashing the Netherlands at home (4:2). As part of the Turkish national team, Burak Yilmaz scored three goals, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu recorded one more goal in his asset.
Unlike the Norwegians, Turkey secured a pass to the European football forum from the second place of Group H, in which the team scored 23 points, simultaneously beating the current world champion French at home (2:0).
Statistics
- Norway have won 5 victories in their last 10 home matches. In 5 matches of this series, the Norwegians conceded goals.
- Yilmaz scored three goals in the last match of Turkey.
- Norway have been undefeated in 4 out of 5 last home matches.
Our Prediction
In this meeting, bookmakers give the minimum preference to the hosts. In-home games, the Norwegians defend themselves reliably, consistently achieving positive results. But Turkey play the best matches at the home arena, rather than away. In our opinion, Norway will be closer to victory.
Our prediction is a victory for Norway with a handicap (0) and such a bet can be placed at odds of 1.71 on 1xbet.
