Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
Norway is on the brink of securing their first World Cup appearance in nearly three decades as they head to face Italy in their final Group I match. They only need to avoid a heavy loss at San Siro to confirm their place. Meanwhile, Italy is already shifting focus toward another challenging playoff run.
Team Analysis:
Italy have secured a top-two finish and improved under Gennaro Gattuso, but their hopes of automatic qualification are essentially gone. Norway, powered by their prolific attack and Erling Haaland’s goals, only need to avoid a disastrous loss to confirm their first World Cup berth since 1998. With dominant performances throughout Group I, they are now on the brink of ending nearly three decades of waiting.
Player Situation:
Italy are set to rotate their squad to avoid suspensions, leaving key players like Sandro Tonali sidelined while others return from bans and injuries. Norway, despite missing Martin Odegaard, remain dangerous with Erling Haaland chasing a scoring record and supported by a strong attacking cast. Both sides adjust their lineups with different priorities, as Italy prepare for playoffs and Norway edge closer to sealing their World Cup spot.
Result Prediction:
Italy have improved their scoring form under Gattuso, though they still lag far behind Norway’s prolific attack. With qualification pressure eased, the final match is expected to be more open and free-flowing. Norwegian supporters are already gearing up to celebrate their long-awaited return to the World Cup stage.
Predicted Result: Italy 2-2 Norway.
