The starting lineup for each team in their last match of this tournament is indicated.

Norway

In the last round, Ståle Solbakken's side confidently defeated Slovenia away with a score of 4-1. This victory was Norway's third in their last four Nations League matches. With ten points, the team is second in the group, level on points with Austria. To secure promotion, Norway needs to earn more points in this round than Austria.

• The team has not lost in regular time in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Nations League (5 wins, 1 draw).
• Norway has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in 5 of their last 7 home games in this tournament.
• At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Norway's last 7 home matches in the Nations League.

Kazakhstan

Stanislav Cherchesov's side suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to Austria in the last round. As a result, Kazakhstan lost their fourth consecutive Nations League match and extended their goalless streak in this tournament to six games. The team has only one point and will finish last in the group, resulting in relegation to League C.

Defender Alexander Marochkin will miss the match due to suspension.

• The team has not won in regular time in 6 of their last 8 away matches in the Nations League (1 draw, 5 losses).
• Kazakhstan has not scored more than one goal in 90 minutes in five of their last away games in this tournament.
• At least three goals have been scored in regular time in 5 of Kazakhstan's last 7 away matches in the Nations League.

Norway vs. Kazakhstan: Match Prediction

Even at home, Norway rarely plays high-scoring matches, despite their offensive style. In their last 11 home Nations League matches, the team has scored more than two goals only three times, and in six cases, they have not scored more than once. However, Norway is strong defensively, with seven clean sheets in this period.

Kazakhstan adopts a different approach, focusing more on defense and aiming for positive results by playing on the counter. As a result, they have limited attacking opportunities and rarely score, especially in away games. In 10 of their last 12 away Nations League matches, Kazakhstan has not scored more than once in regular time. However, they also concede few goals, with opponents scoring no more than twice in 8 of their last 12 away games in this tournament.

Considering all factors, I do not expect a high-scoring match. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
