After surviving Moldova in their last qualifier, Italy will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Norway at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in their last group game. Italy need a big win in the decider (nine or more goals) if they are to secure automatic World Cup qualification. Though, we do not believe that they are capable of making a miracle in Milano. Inter striker Francesco Pio Esposito is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Moldova, while there are no fresh injury worries in Genaro Gattuso’s team.
The Norwegians, on the other hand, are with one foot at the next year’s showpiece tournament following a 4-1 win over Estonia. Italy, though, want this win more than Norway and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Arsenal ace Martin Odegaard remains in the recovery room, but Man City striker Erling Haaland is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 16 November 2025 at 19:45.
