Cyprus vs Norway Prediction & Match Preview

After an extremely underwhelming start to the 2024 EURO qualifying campaign, Norway managed back-to-back home wins over Group A underdogs Cyprus and Georgia to fix the impression and boost the confidence ahead of the decisive fixtures in October and November.

The Norwegians moved up to third place in the group table but they are still in a very difficult situation, sitting two points shy of second-placed Spain who also have a game in hand.

Scotland are beyond reach with five wins in five games at the very top of the standings, meaning Stale Solbakken’s troops have a mission impossible ahead of them in the remaining three outings of the campaign.

Norway will be big favorites to dispatch the rock-bottomed Cyprus on Thursday night in Gameweek No 7 on the road.

Cyprus have lost all five games since the beginning of the qualifying process and they own a terrible 2-17 goal difference at the moment.

Temuri Ketsbaia’s men go into this off the back of a devastating 0-6 loss to Spain a month ago. They’ve allowed at least three goals in each of the previous three losses to Norway, Scotland, and Spain.

Latest Meetings

Cyprus have never been a serious rival to Norway who have easily won each of the previous twelve head to head outings.

Norway have an amazing 31-5 goal difference in the last twelve clashes against the Cypriots.

Cyprus failed to find the back of the net in any of the last four meetings with Norway.

The Verdict

This should be a one-way street from the start to the end due to the obvious gulf in quality between the two rivals.

The main bet is Norway to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the 1.90 odds while we also like the Away win & Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.95 odds knowing how easy to break down Cyprus have been lately.
