Having both failed to qualify for Euro 2024, neither of these two nations will be present at this summer’s continental gathering.
The Scandinavians finished third behind both Spain and Scotland in their qualifying group, meaning their wait for a first major tournament since 2000 continues.
With Norway’s next competitive fixture not until September, Stale Solbakken’s side will look to build some momentum by winning each of their upcoming exhibition encounters,
Meanwhile, Kosovo also came up short in their quest to qualify for a major tournament for the first time in their history, finishing second from bottom in Group I.
That limp showing prompted the Kosovo FA to make a managerial change earlier this year, with Franco Foda now leading the national team.
Fresh off the back of firing Man City to a record-breaking fourth title in succession, and bagging the Golden Boot along the way, Erling Haalnd is 4/5 to strike on Wednesday night. That price holds plenty of appeal when you consider the Norwegian superstar has racked up 27 goals in 31 appearances for his country to date.
Milot Rashica scored the only goal of the game in Kosovo’s 1-0 win against Armenia during the last international break. The former Norwich man is 5/1 (Bet 365) to make the net bulge in the Norwegian capital.
The aforementioned Erling Haalnd is expected to feature from the start for Norway, as is Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard.
New Kosovo boss Franco Foda is likely to make some changes to the side that were turned over 2-0 by Hungary last time out.
Norway: Nyland; Ajer, Hanche-Olsen, Ostigard, Bjorkan; Odegaard, Thorstvedt, Berge; Bobb, Haaland, Elyounoussi
Kosovo: Muric; Vojvoda, Rrahmani, Aliti, Paqarada; Loshaj, Berisha; Zhegrova, Muslija, Rashica; Muriqi
