Norway have made a flying start in World Cup qualifying but face a step up in class tonight as Italy come to Oslo.
The Norwegians are looking to qualify for the first time since 1998 and certainly have the talent the reach the finals with the likes of Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and Alexander Sorloth in their ranks.
They've won their first two qualifiers to move clear at the of Group I but this is Italy's first qualifier due to their involvement in the Nations League quarter-finals.
Luciano Spalletti's side were edged out in that tournament 5-4 on aggregate by Germany so tonight's game has the potential to be a cracker.
But before we start looking at Friday's football tips, let's take a look at the special offer from Betano for new customers:

Norway vs Italy top betting tips
Games involving Spalletti's Napoli side were usually thrillers and he now has Italy playing the same brand of high-octane football.
With Norway netting nine times in their first two qualifiers it bodes well for an exciting game tonight and BoyleSports price BTTS at just 6/10. But adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/10 and that looks decent value.
Haaland should be fresh for this one, having only just returned from a long spell on the sidelines in the final few weeks of the Premier League season.
He has netted in both of Norway's qualifiers so far and is always worth backing for a goal at odds of 5/4 with BoyleSports.
Wales vs Liechtenstein
Wales are looking to qualify for back-to-back World Cup finals, having ended a 64-year absence from the greatest show on earth by reaching Qatar 2022.
Automatic qualification looks like a long shot with Belgium heavy favourites to win Group J but the Welsh have made a decent start, with a home win over Kazakhstan followed by a 1-1 draw in North Macedonia.
David Brooks scored a last-gasp leveller in that game and it could prove crucial come the end of the section once all the points have been tallied up.
Craig Bellamy's side shouldn't have any problems at home to Liechtenstein tonight with the minnows in terrible form. In the Nations League they lost twice to perennial whipping boys San Marino so it would be a surprise if they avoided a heavy defeat in Cardiff.
It's hard finding value with the Welsh 1/33 favourites but Bournemouth midfielder Brooks is 11/10 at BoyleSports to grab another goal.
The assist market offers better prices than the scorer one and Bet365 price Leeds winger Dan James at 5/4 to set one up.
Scotland vs Iceland
Scotland are back in action tonight with a friendly against Iceland and it will be interesting to see how they react to a skelping by Greece in their last outing.
The Scots were favourites to finish off Greece in their Nations League play-off after pinching an excellent 1-0 win in Piraeus but crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Hampden.
Clarke will now be out to regain some momentum in friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein before the World Cup qualifiers get underway in September.
Scott McTominay will have his confidence up after playing a key role in Napoli's Serie A title triumph and he's 7/4 for anytime scorer at Bet365, which looks worth a punt. The same firm also have the midfielder at 2/1 for over 1.5 shots on target.

“Tottenham sacked Ange Postecoglou on the second anniversary of his appointment and 16 days after he led the club to its first European trophy for 41 years.
Thomas Frank of Brentford is the leading candidate to replace him.”
