Wales are the lowest-ranked nation in their group (38th), and are really struggling against better sides.
They are pointless and scoreless after playing Portugal and Denmark, and could suffer the same fate against Norway.
Craig Bellamy will not panic though as the defeats have been narrow, but he is under pressure to get the Dragons' first win in 2026.
They appear to have no fresh concerns in the squad, so can look to attack this fixture on home soil.
The same cannot be said for Norway, with Julian Ryerson and Martin Odegaard doubts after picking up injuries against Portugal.
The latter would be especially missed as the captain, and the likes of Erling Haaland also feed off his service.
Stale Solbakken may not be able to control the game as much as he would like, but Norway still have the quality that can hurt Wales.
This is their first Nations League fixture away from home though, and losing to Portugal last time out was a blow for their ambition to top the group.

Whispers predicts: Wales 0-2 Norway
Norway are 6/11 (1.55) favourites to win, but while we agree with the bookies, we want to explore other bets.
Given Wales have failed to score in the Nations League so far, BTTS – No at 23/20 (2.15) appeals, while Over 8.5 corners at 4/5 (1.80) has come through in Norway's last seven competitive games.
Five of Wales' previous six matches have also featured three goals or fewer, so Under 2.5 goals at 24/17 (2.41) could also be a play.
Overall, we are predicting a 2-0 Norway victory, which is available at 31/4 (8.75).
> Over 8.5 corners at 1.80 | Likelihood: High
> BTTS – No at 2.15 | Likelihood: Medium
> Under 2.5 goals at 2.41 | Likelihood: Medium
