UEFA Nations League Norway vs Cyprus

Both teams want to start the competition on the right foot.

State of form

Despite a good end of qualifying, Norway has not managed to secure a ticket for the 2018 World Cup and is now looking for a place at the next European Championship. In a good dynamic, the Scandinavians remain on 4 successes of rank in friendly, against Australia (4-1), Albania (0-1), Iceland (2-3) and Panama (1-0 ).
Also absent from the World Cup in Russia, Cyprus finished away from Portugal and Switzerland in their playoff group. Unlike the Norwegians, the Cypriots are not at all reassured in friendly since (3 losses – 1 draw) and they remain on a slap received in Jordan at the end of May (4-1).
