Norway v Wales: Nations League meeting set for Saturday 14 November

Norway will host Wales in the fifth round of the Nations League group stage on Saturday, 14 November 2026, with kick-off at 17:00 GMT at Stade Ullevaal.

The match will be shown on Chaine L’Equipe in France; Fox Sports and DAZN in the United States and Canada; New World TV and beIN SPORTS in sub-Saharan Africa; and beIN SPORTS and DStv in the Middle East and North Africa.

The fixture comes with both teams holding the same record after four matches. Norway, managed by Stale Solbakken, have won once and lost three times, while Wales have also recorded one victory and three defeats under Craig Bellamy.

Norway’s recent Nations League form has exposed a gap between their attacking and defensive performances. They have scored six goals in their opening four games, but have conceded eight, leaving them in a difficult position despite their ability to threaten in front of goal.

Wales, ranked 39th in the FIFA rankings, have struggled more in attack. Their only win came at home against Norway in Cardiff in October, when they claimed a 2-1 victory. Across their four matches, however, they have scored only two goals.

Norway are ranked 19th in the FIFA rankings and will be seeking a response after that defeat. Their home advantage and attacking strength could give them an opportunity to improve their position, although their defensive record remains a concern.

The recent head-to-head record favours Wales. The two nations have met 12 times, with four wins apiece and four draws. Wales, though, have won the last three encounters, giving them a psychological advantage before the latest meeting.

A tight contest is expected between two sides that have found consistency difficult to achieve. Norway’s defensive vulnerabilities could give Wales encouragement, but the visitors’ lack of finishing power may limit their threat. Wales are also expected to prioritise avoiding defeat and protecting the advantage gained in Cardiff.

Africafoot’s prediction is a 1-1 draw.

The bookmakers’ prices listed by 1xbet are 1.24 for a Norway win, 7.03 for a draw and 12.60 for a Wales victory.
