Norway vs Cyprus match preview
Norwayβs start to this qualification campaign has been nothing short of disastrous, so they are in desperate need of a victory here.
On Saturday, the Lions took on Scotland in Oslo in a must win game, and they were on course to achieve this when Erling Braut HΓ₯land smashed home a penalty on the hour mark, breaking the deadlock.
Norway still led 1-0 with less than three minutes to play, only for Scotland to score twice in under 100 seconds, snatching the most unlikely of smash-and-grab victories youβre ever likely to see.
This defeat is an indisputable disaster for StΓ₯le Solbakkenβs side, who now have just one point on the board, beaten 3-0 by Spain in their opener before only managing a draw with Georgia in Batumi.
Norway have not qualified for any major tournament since Euro 2000, desperately hoping the stars in their ranks can change that fact this year.
Now that a top two finish in Group A appears a long-shot, Solbakkenβs team may be looking to the safety net that is a play-off place, which theyβre guaranteed via the UEFA Nations League.
Cyprus are yet to get off the mark in Euro 2024 qualifying and, in a generally very competitive section, this could remain the case.
Temur Ketsbaiaβs team were swatted aside in Glasgow on matchday one, before a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Georgia in Larnaca on Saturday, conceding late after Ioannis Pittas had equalised from the penalty spot.
Overall, Cyprus have won just four of their last 29 competitive fixtures, their most-recent away win coming in Kazakhstan in October 2019.
So, despite Norwayβs ongoing issues, theyβll surely prevail in this friendly at UllevΓ₯l Stadion.
Norway team news
Erling Braut HΓ₯land bagged his 22nd international goal, doing so in just 24 caps, on Saturday, ultimately in vain.
Alexander SΓΈrloth will join him in the front three, although Mohamed Elyounoussi could come in for Ola Solbakken on the left-wing.
Captain Martin Γdegaard picked up his 50th cap at the weekend, although heβs only scored twice for his country to date, netting against Romania in 2019 and Slovakia last year.
Cyprus team news
St Mirrenβs Alex GogiΔ comically gave away Georgiaβs opener at the weekend, but heβll keep his place in defence.
At the age of 32, JoΓ«l Mall made his senior international debut in goal on Saturday, so will he start again?
With Pieros Sotiriou, Andronikos Kakoullis and Georgios Efrem sidelined, Marinos Tzionis could continue to lead the line, chosen as Ioannis Pittasβ strike partner.
