In a battle of the two bottom teams in Group A of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Norway will hope to bag full points against lowly Cyprus. This match will be played at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo on Tuesday with Norway on one point and Cyprus on nil. Norway couldn’t hold on to their lead as two goals beyond the 85th minute condemned them to a 2-1 loss to Scotland. This result made it four games without a win, drawing and losing two each. Their only point in this qualification campaign has come in a 1-1 draw against Georgia. Norway will look to address their scoring woes too, with a negative goal difference of four weighing them down. The hosts need to bounce back from consecutive losses in the qualifiers at home, but Cyprus could prove the best opponent in that regard. Norway have won all 11 previous head-to-heads conceding just four goals in total.

Cyprus lost 2-1 to Georgia in the last round making it two defeats to start their campaign after losing 3-0 to Scotland. With four defeats across their last six matches in all competitions, the outlook is a bit grim. The visitors have traditionally struggled in the Euro qualifiers and their record bears a testimony to that. Cyprus have lost their last five games in the Euro qualifiers, with all matches resulting in over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Cyprus have four wins from their last eight away Euro qualifiers but recreating that form here could be a step too steep.
