The Landslaget bossed the proceedings when they last faced Gli Azzurri.

The Italy national football team are ready to battle it out against the Norway national football team in a FIFA World Cup European qualifiers fixture. San Siro Stadium will witness this interesting clash.

Gli Azzurri are coming in after securing a 2-0 Moldova in their previous World Cup qualifying game. They scored two late goals to win the game. The Italy national football team need to work on their attack with a better strategy as the upcoming fixture is going to be a tough outing for them.

The Norway national football team will look to continue their winning run. They took down Estonia by a scoreline of 4-1 in their last match of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Landslaget are looking good at the moment and will be once again looking to take down the Italians. Even though the Norge will be the visiting team, they should feel confident.

Players to Watch

Mateo Retegui (Italy)

The Al Qadsiah forward will be looking to step up his game as the upcoming fixture is going to be a tough one for Gli Azzurri. He has nine goal involvements in six WC qualifiers for the Italy national football team in the ongoing campaign. Mateo Retegui is going to play an important role in the final third.

Erling Haaland (Norway)

Erling Haaland continues his goal-scoring run. He is coming in after netting in a brace for the Norway national football team in their 4-1 win against Estonia. He has scored 12 goals and also has two assists to his name in six matches of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

He is surely going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
