Norway vs Cyprus Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th June 2023

We have reached the fourth round of the European Championship group stage qualification. The upcoming match between Norway and Cyprus take place at Ullevaal this coming Tuesday. Cyprus visit Norway for their first meeting since November 2018, when Norway put a 2-0 win on the board at Neo GSP Stadium.

Concluding the first three rounds of matches in this group, Norway have positioned themselves as number four on one point. Meanwhile, Cyprus earned zero points, placing them as number five. Cyprus are taking on number 111 in the FIFA world ranking, with the home side sitting as number 44.

Winning their group is probably too much to expect, however it would be a surprise to see Norway fail in qualifying for the upcoming tournament from this group. It looks like Cyprus won't be able to escape the group stage, but they could still manage to snatch a few points here and there, which would be considered a success for them.

A solitary draw point prevents Norway from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 3-0 defeat against Spain, before drawing 1-1 with Georgia.
