*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Norway eased to a fine 4-1 win at Slovenia in midweek and with Erling Haaland firing, the Scandinavians, who are 1/7 favourites to win on Sunday, should have too much firepower for Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan were beaten 2-0 by Austria on Thursday evening and are already cut adrift at the foot of the table having collected just one of the 15 points on offer. The visitors have just a 6.7% chance of winning in Oslo. Read more of our latest football tips for the Nations League by clicking the link.

Norway used a standard 4-4-2 formation in their 4-1 win at Slovenia in midweek and front-pairing Erling Haaland and Alexander Sorloth caused mayhem. Norway have pocketed ten points from five games in the Nations League so far and have amassed the same tally as leaders Austria.

Player to watch – Antonio Nusa
Promising left winger Antonio Nusa enjoyed a productive outing against Slovenia in midweek when the 19-year-old bagged two of Norway’s goals in their impressive 4-1 win in Ljubljana.
Nusa can shine again
RB Leipzig starlet Nusa combines pace and trickery down the left flank and the talented teenager has the skillset to do more damage against a lacklustre Kazakhstan outfit in Oslo on Sunday.
