Italy vs. Norway Betting Predictions 11.16.2025

Betting Tip: Italy
Bookmaker: BetOnline
Odds: 2.15

In a game that doesn’t hold much significance for either team, Italy hosts Norway. The home team will reach the World Cup directly only if it beats its rivals by a nine-goal margin, which is, to say the least, unlikely. As things stand at the moment, Azzurri will head to the playoffs, while Norway will go directly to the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

This will be an opportunity for Gattuso to give some of the players who didn’t appear on the field often a chance to shine. We need to say that, knowing the Italian head coach, he will strive for the win here. After all, Gattuso was always aggressive, and the word “easy” does not exist in his dictionary.

The Italians have won six games in a row, scoring two or more goals in each one. They also posted back-to-back clean sheets in recent events, and 4 during this victorious stretch. They looked more offensive than in the past, but to be honest, the rivals weren’t that strong.

Norway News

Norway was slow in the first half against Estonia this week. However, Haaland and the boys accelerated in the second half, securing a 4-1 win. For the moment, they are possibly the most confident team in the entire UEFA World Cup qualifiers, having won 7 matches in the same number of games, scored 33 goals, and conceded only 4.

Haaland has 14 goals scored so far, and is the absolute leader in this qualifying cycle. Overall, City’s star is in fantastic form and there aren’t too many players playing at his level.

Italy vs. Norway Head to Head

The first game saw the Norwegians beating Italy 3-0, inflicting the Azzurri with one of the toughest defeats in the past year or two. This was their first triumph over Italy in 25 years, and in the meantime, the Italians had won four games in a row.
