Norway have Erling Haaland upfront. This guy has been magnificent all season recording mindblowing numbers. At Borussia, he's scoring 1 goal per game on average and what's important he always shows up on big occasions. This is exactly the game where I expect him to deliver. I was stunned by the Turks who outscored the Netherlands 4-2. One can say these team have some attack. BTTS with a total over 2.5 seems to me a very likely outcome. Don't let me down, boys! 💸💰
For the first time since 1996, Norway started their World Cup Qualifying (WCQ) campaign with a win - a good omen as that was the last campaign that saw them qualify for the finals! That carried on their good form from the end of their previous campaign, and the Norwegians have now won four of their last five WCQ fixtures (L1). Furthermore, if excluding a recent forfeit result, Norway are also unbeaten within 90 minutes in their last six competitive games (W4, D2) - five of which were vs teams ranked in FIFA’s top 50 like opponents Turkey. Additionally, Norway are unbeaten in their last four WCQ home games (W3, D1) scoring the opener in every win. That run looks set to continue here as Norway are undefeated in six of their last seven WCQ campaign home openers (W3, D3, L1), with early action the theme as five of those witnessed at least two first-half goals. Turkey’s impressive 4-2 victory over the Netherlands on WCQ matchday one was just their second win in the last nine games (W2, D5, L2), although manager Senol Günes boasts an 85.71% unbeaten rate in charge (W11, D7, L3). The task ahead looks monumental though, as Turkey have never started a WCQ campaign with consecutive wins! 2-1
The Norwegians have been stripped of their home turf in this clash as the fixture is being moved to Spain. Even though it's all but impossible to predict a favourite in this one, I believe it'll be the Turks who win today after what they did to the Dutchmen in mid-week.
Think that literally everyone will be backing Turkey to score in Oslo after Burak Yılmaz's hat-trick against the Netherlands yesterday. As for Norway, they fired three past Gibraltar but the most important thing is that Haaland didn't score in midweek. All in all, both teams to score looks like the most likely outcome.
