Ireland take on the visitors Norway in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Thursday, November 17th.
Ireland, even at their peak, did not look like notable power. It's just that sometimes it turned out to be enough to not just break into the "big" tournaments and even go to the playoffs there. But after Euro 2016 there were no qualifications to big tournaments. And for the last time they made their way to the World Cup exactly 2 decades ago, in 2002. The current generation was again insufficient to seriously compete for success in qualifying for Qatar. Moreover, even in this calendar year, within the framework of Division B of the League of Nations, Stephen Kenny's wards were able to accumulate only 7 points, moreover, they even managed to lose to the absolute outsider of the quartet - Armenia. Although the future winner, Scotland, was "neighborly" defeated.

Norway national team so far cannot live up to the increasingly loud expectations. Suffice it to say that Erling Haaland plays for this team, which at Manchester City confirms his status as one of the most promising “textured”, “heavy” center forwards of our time. But there is at least Odegaard, you can also name Ostigor, a newcomer to Napoli, Serlot, Thorsby, Larsen, although they are rated a bit lower. Last year, the Scandinavians had an impressive start to qualifying for the World Cup. But in the end, not only Netherlands, but also Turkey passed them a year ago, depriving them even of the opportunity to play in the playoffs in the spring. Something similar was observed in the League of Nations. Norwegians started well there, they were in the lead. But in the last round, they gave the final 1st place to the Serbs, losing to them at their field. As a result, the difference between the teams was just these same 3 points, which the “souths” took in Oslo. Well, now it remains to try to take into account the errors. And the current fights will also be part of the “work on the mistakes”.
In total, 8 head-to-head matches were played, and Norway has the advantage, having won three times with a single defeat. But the last time the sides crossed in 2010, and then also in a friendly match. Bookmakers consider the chances of opponents as fairly equal, even giving a certain advantage to the guests. But Ireland is good at home, so we bet that they will win, but with a safety net in the form of a “0” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Ireland to win with 0.0 handicap.
