What speaks for Norway vs. Italy in our betting tips?
The name Erling Haaland is already inextricably linked with Norway. The Man City striker may only be 24 years old, but his scoring rate is remarkable. In the Norwegian national team, Haaland scored 64 goals in 66 games - but this includes the U-teams. On the other hand, soccer is a team sport. That's why we can't focus too much on this one person in the Norway - Italy betting tip. Nevertheless, the Norwegians finished first in UEFA Nations League League B Group 3. Four wins, one draw and one defeat were achieved. The Norwegians left Austria, Slovenia and Kazakhstan behind them. They scored 15:7 goals.Interim conclusion on Norway: The men from the north have home advantage. As it's not that cold there at the moment, it's "only" a normal home advantage. Otherwise, the Italians have looked pretty good against Norway recently. Although it's been a while since they last scored.
