*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
To be fair, Norway have not particularly enjoyed their best form in recent months. They have two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six matches. However, Stale Solbakken’s troops have fared better than their hosts, who have lost four consecutive games.
With that in mind, Norway are the expected winners at 4/9 (1.44). Teams with these odds generally have a 69.2% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland has simply been unstoppable lately. He scored a hat-trick in each of his last two games, with a total of 10 goals scored in his last five matches alone.
The 24-year-old currently leads the race for the Premier League's Golden Boot. He will fancy his chances against Kazakhstan.
