Live Blog: Norway vs. Wales | UEFA Nations League
Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard will be looking for revenge against a Wales side that already stunned Norway in Cardiff. Both teams enter this crucial UEFA Nations League clash level on points, with their future in League A at stake.
The 2026/27 UEFA Nations League is entering its decisive stages, and Norway face one of their most important matches of the campaign. The Scandinavian side will host Wales at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo in a showdown that could determine their chances of remaining in League A.
Ståle Solbakken's team have collected just three points from four matches. Their only victory came in a thrilling 3-2 win over Denmark, while defeats against Portugal and Wales have complicated their situation.
However, Norway have one of world football's biggest stars leading their attack: Erling Haaland.
The Manchester City striker is the all-time leading scorer in UEFA Nations League history, with 22 goals in 20 appearances, and will be looking to add to his remarkable tally in a match his country desperately needs to win.
Alongside him, Martin Ødegaard has recorded four assists in this edition, establishing himself as Norway's main creative force.
Wales Aim to Repeat Their Historic Cardiff Victory
The first meeting between these two teams produced a major surprise.
On October 1, Wales defeated Norway 2-1 in Cardiff, securing their first-ever victory in League A of the UEFA Nations League.
Although Oscar Bobb gave Norway the lead, goals from Daniel James and Neco Williams completed an impressive comeback for the Dragons.
Now, Craig Bellamy's side will attempt to repeat that performance on Norwegian soil.
One major boost for the visitors is the return of Harry Wilson, who is available again to strengthen Wales' attacking creativity.
With three points, Wales sit third in Group A4, ahead of Norway thanks to their head-to-head victory.
A Match That Could Decide League A Survival
The situation in Group A4 makes this encounter a crucial battle.
Portugal lead the standings with 12 points and have already secured a place in the quarterfinals. Denmark sit second with six points, while Wales and Norway are tied on three.
A defeat could leave either side facing an extremely difficult situation heading into the final matchday.
For Norway, a home victory would keep their hopes of avoiding relegation alive while preserving their chances of climbing the standings.
For Wales, three points would represent a major step toward securing their League A status and prove that their victory in Cardiff was no coincidence.
With Haaland leading the Norwegian attack and a Welsh side that has already shown it can compete against them, Oslo is preparing for a high-stakes showdown.
