Norway faces Turkey in round 2 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, March 27th at Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga)
The Lions of Norway have finally grown their teeth. If the Scandinavians were middle peasants and did not even pretend to compete for promotion to the major tournaments in the previous qualifiers, now they have young stars who can bring positive results. However, this national team issued a unique demarche on Wednesday: before the match against Gibraltar, the players came out in clothes, which had been called upon... the boycott of the World Cup, as human rights are violated in the host country, Qatar. However, neither that nor the injury of Martin Odegaard (he had to be replaced after the break) prevented the Norwegians from hammering the outsider 3-0 without any noticeable efforts.

The Turks remain extremely unstable. After the failures in the previous qualifiers, the team showed a great game in the last Euro qualification after the return of Şenol Güneş. It confidently took 2nd place and lagged behind France. But last fall Turkey took the last place in its group in the Nations League. After that, few expected the Turks to succeed against the star-studded Netherlands team in Istanbul. But Burak Yilmaz, the famous 35-year-old striker, held one the best matches in his career, upsetting Tim Krul with a hat-trick. However, there was a moment when the Dutch managed to reduce the gap to a minimum, scoring twice in a minute. And Depay had a chance to score again but could not beat Uğurcan Çakır from the penalty spot. That 4-2 victory was a good start in a new cycle, but now the Turks need to build on the progress in matches against less powerful opponents.
In general, Turkey has an advantage - this team won half of eight head-to-head matches. Norway won only at the end of the last century. The last three games recorded two draws and a 2-1 victory of the Crescent-Stars. Truth be told, it dates back to 2007. Now the teams are in good shape and will definitely try to achieve victory. And we think that they will please us with goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
