Norway VS Denmark

Norway will be looking to respond positively after suffering a 1-2 defeat to England in their latest World Cup fixture. Norway competed well with 48 percent possession and 13 attempts, including four on target, with Andreas Schjelderup giving them the lead in the 36th minute. England produced 14 attempts and eight on target before Jude Bellingham scored twice, including a decisive goal in the 93rd minute during extra time. Norway have continued to show attacking consistency in recent matches, finding the net in each of their last six games, although they have also conceded in all six, highlighting a defensive weakness that could become important against Denmark. Denmark arrive with greater confidence after securing a 2-1 victory over Ukraine in their most recent international friendly. Their recent fixtures have generally produced plenty of attacking action, with 21 goals recorded across their last six matches, an average of 3.5 goals per game. Denmark have conceded nine of those goals, suggesting that while they possess considerable attacking potential, their defence has not always been completely reliable. The historical record between these sides also provides an interesting backdrop, as Norway have struggled to overcome Denmark in their previous meetings dating back to 2002. Denmark have held the advantage during that period, with 16 goals scored across those encounters compared with Norway's five.
