Norway vs Denmark: team news and expert analysis
Norway have finally qualified for the World Cup. There, they won their first two matches to secure early progress from the group, before losing to France in the third round with a second-string lineup. In the playoffs, Solbakken's side eliminated Ivory Coast and Brazil. They also opened the scoring against England, but eventually lost after a brace from Bellingham.
Denmark handed Scotland top spot in the group after losing to them in the final qualifying round. In the spring, after thrashing North Macedonia, they traded goals with the Czech Republic in both regular and extra time, but eventually lost the penalty shootout. Then, in the summer, they drew 0-0 with DR Congo and led Ukraine 2-1, but the match was stopped early after Eriksen once again felt unwell.
Haaland and his teammates still have a positive record even after the World Cup: 1.8 goals scored per match compared with 1.5 conceded. Their neighbors score 2.7 goals per game but concede 0.9.
