Norway vs Gibraltar Predictions

Norway incentivised to rack up the goals

Goal difference could well be a factor later this year when determining who qualifies from a tight Group G, and Norway can give theirs a significant boost when they welcome strugglers Gibraltar to Oslo this Tuesday night.

The Norwegians are locked in a three way battle with Turkey and Netherlands, and a draw at home to the Dutch last week before a Saturday victory in Latvia ensured that they’ll remain well in contention for Qatar 2022 going into the next international break in October.

Norway are five and eight goals inferior to their rivals though, so you bank on Staale Solbakken’s side pushing the envelope in this Tuesday’s tie.

The result isn’t in question considering the gulf in quality between the teams, and the visitors have yet to earn a point in 15 previous World Cup Qualifiers.

Gibraltar restricted Turkey to three goals on the rock at the weekend, but they shipped seven against Netherlands three starts ago and we should see something similar here.

Norway were 0-3 victors in the reverse tie, but they should rack up more goals at Ullevaal Stadion and we’re backing the hosts at -4 on the handicap, alongside a 6-0 correct score.
