Shape: Norway typically line up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 under Solbakken, built around Haaland’s depth runs and Ødegaard’s between-the-lines playmaking. Fullbacks push high to provide width, while the midfield balances Ødegaard’s creativity with at least one more defensive-minded presser behind him.

Numbers: Norway’s attack generally posts strong non-penalty xG driven by high shot volume and shot quality from central zones through Haaland and Isak. Defensively, they can allow a moderate xG-against figure, particularly in transition when advanced fullbacks leave space to defend wide-to-central counters.

Key updates

▸Core spine settled around Haaland, Ødegaard, Isak and Berge, giving continuity from qualifying into the World Cup squad.
▸Nusa increasingly trusted as a starting left winger option, adding dribbling threat and ball-carrying in wide areas.
▸Defensive structure continues to rely on Ajer and Østigård as first-choice centre-backs, with Ryerson a versatile option across the back line.
▸Set-piece threat remains a key offensive weapon, with Haaland, centre-backs and delivery from Ødegaard and Aursnes.
