Thursday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me focus on the Nations League, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Wales vs Norway
🇪🇺 Nations League
⏰ Thursday 1 October, 19:45
Wales will look to get their first points of their Nations League campaign as they welcome Norway to the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday night.
It’s been a tough start in League A Group 4 for Craig Bellamy’s hosts, as they remain pointless and goalless after their first two matches.
The Dragons were beaten 1-0 in Lisbon against reigning Nations League champions Portugal last Thursday, before a Ben Davies own goal and a deflected Gustav Isaksen strike saw them fall to a 2-0 defeat in Copenhagen against Denmark on Sunday.
Following on from their memorable quarter-final run in the World Cup over the summer, Norway opened up their Nations League campaign by edging a five-goal thriller at home to Scandinavian rivals Denmark – helping land last Thursday’s Bet of the Day.
However, Stale Solbakken’s visitors failed to build on that victory, as they lost 1-2 at home to Portugal courtesy of a goal from Milan new boy Goncalo Ramos.
This clash will be the first on home soil for Wales in League A Group 4, whilst this will be Norway’s first venture outside of Oslo.

Bet of the Day
Both of these nations will be targeting all three points following defeat last Sunday, which should lead to an entertaining encounter.
Norway’s matches are generally high-scoring, with 20 of their last 25 and 25 of their previous 32 matches going over 2.5 Goals, whilst each of their previous 10 and 13 of their past 14 have produced goals at both ends.
Both Teams to Score has paid out in each of Wales’ last five and six of their past seven internationals in front of their supporters, including in 4/5 (80%) in World Cup qualifying – only keeping a clean sheet against minnows Liechtenstein – with four (80%) of those qualifiers also going Over 2.5 Goals.
