Italy welcome Norway to the San Siro on Sunday, knowing they will need to secure victory in order to qualify for their first World Cup since 2014.

Italy Double Chance

Since suffering a 3-0 defeat against Norway in round one of the group stages, Gli Azzurri have been in impressive form. The appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as head coach has really paid off - Italy have won all five matches under their new manager, scoring 17 goals while also keeping three clean sheets. 

Italy have won all three of their home games in Group I to nil so far, and they will be confident of securing a positive result on Thursday night. 

A lot has changed since that noteworthy round one result in Group I - Italy have changed manager and have won all five matches since, while Norway will also have to contend without their skipper Martin Odegaard, who picked up an injury while playing for Arsenal. With Gli Azzurri having the benefit of home advantage here, it’s difficult to see them losing, but Norway will know a draw will do.

Both Teams to Score

Both sides have plenty to play for here, and if Norway can avoid defeat, they will make their first World appearance since 1998. The Norwegians have been top-notch in the group stages, with seven wins from seven after their 4-1 victory over Estonia on Thursday night. 

Erling Haaland has been central to that success. The Man City striker has 19 goals to his name from 15 appearances at club level, while he has also scored a total of 14 goals in his seven World Cup qualifying appearances. Haaland has got on the scoresheet in all seven games, and has 10 goals in his last three international appearances alone. 

Keeping Italy at bay is unlikely given how strong they have been in recent games, but the Norwegians will be confident of getting on the scoresheet.

📈 Italy v Norway Form & Stats

Italy were not quite at their best against Moldova, but they were just able to squeeze out a victory to keep the pressure on Norway. Gianluca Mancini scored in the 88th minute to provide some relief for Gattuso, before Francesco Pio Esposito secured the three points in stoppage time. Italy were dominant throughout, registering a total of 28 shots, with nine on target. 

Gli Azzurri have performed much better on home turf, winning all three of their matches by an aggregate score of 10-0, but their toughest test awaits them against Norway.

Even in the absence of Odegaard, goals have not been a shortage for Norway, who put four past Estonia last time out. Haaland popped up with a brace in that game, while Alexander Sorloth also scored twice, taking his tally to four goals in the World Cup qualifiers. The Atletico Madrid man has lacked regular gametime under Diego Simeone this season, but did get on the scoresheet in the reverse fixture against Italy, which should give him some confidence. 

Excluding friendlies, Norway have won nine straight matches in all competitions - both sides come into this clash in excellent form, and it should be a cracker.
