Norway will look to return to winning ways after their defeat away to the Netherlands during the week when they take on a Switzerland side who lost in a dramatic 4-3 game at home to Germany.
Stale Solbakken's side took the lead in Amsterdam before goals from Virgil Van Dijk and Tijjani Reijnders turned the game around for the Dutch and ended what had been a great run of form for the Norwegians.
The Swiss, meanwhile, were involved in a seven-goal thriller that was decided by a late Florian Wirtz goal.
Both sides have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and will use their upcoming international friendly as a chance to rotate the side and give key players a rest.

In terms of experience on the field, there are unlikely to be any sides with more caps in their squad than Switzerland.
Swiss duo Rico Rodriguez and Granit Xhaka have 136 and 144 caps for the country respectively and would both surpass Norway's record for most international appearances with ease.
Norway have scored a massive 26 goals in their last six games, thrashing Israel 11-1 during that run.
Astonishingly, the Norwegians have scored 26 goals in their last six games and did not include Erling Haaland in their squad for their Friday night defeat.
Before their latest loss, Switzerland had conceded just two goals in their previous six games while keeping four clean sheets.
Despite taking confidence with their free-scoring form, they are taking on a side who had kept four clean sheets in six before shipping four in one game against Germany.
