Team Analysis
Norway's recent form has left much to be desired, with performances appearing particularly inconsistent. Despite having in their ranks some impressive talent, the team failed to secure a place in Euro 2024. They've seen two friendlies post Euro qualifiers, failing to secure a victory in each. On Wednesday, they play host to Kosovo in yet another friendly. However, Kosovo's form is arguably poorer, with only two victories in their last 14 matches across the board.

Head-to-Head
Norway and Kosovo are preparing for their first-ever competitive meeting, giving the Norwegians a significant advantage. With an unbeaten record at home in five of their last seven games, and having won four of those matches with at least two goals, the home side appears well-positioned.

Odds Analysis
Meanwhile, Kosovo has struggled significantly on the road, with five losses and no victories in seven of their previous eight away games. They've struggled defensively too, conceding at least two goals in their losses over the course of this period.

These stats suggest a match with a total of more than 2.5 goals. Combined with Kosovo's failure to score in their last two away defeats, and Norway's strong defensive efforts in two of their last three victories at home, a 3-0 victory in favor of Norway seems likely. The prediction also leans towards Norway scoring over 1.5 goals in the first half, considering the impact of players like Haaland and Larsen.

Pick: Norway 3-0 Kosovo
