On paper, the Scandinavians are the favorites in the match in Cardiff, a sentiment reflected in the Wales vs. Norway prediction. The reasons are obvious. Norway impressed at the 2026 World Cup, possesses enormous individual quality, and faces a Wales side that hasn't won since November 2025. At the same time, there's already a lot at stake for both teams, as Norway has three points after two matchdays, while the Dragons sit at the bottom of the group without a single point or goal. Wales suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat in Portugal in their Nations League opener and subsequently lost 0-2 in Denmark, now they face Norway in their first home game of the season. Hopes are high that they will end their winless streak, especially since Wales have yet to secure a victory in 2026.
