Morocco and Norway could both be dark horses at the World Cup this summer so it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top when they face off in a New Jersey friendly tonight.
The Moroccans made history at the last World Cup when they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.
And few teams were more impressive in qualifying for World Cup 2026 than Norway as they won all eight matches, including home and away victories over Italy.
Morocco vs Norway top betting tips
Both teams will be in high spirits heading into this game, with Morocco thrashing Madagascar 4-0 on Tuesday and Norway beating Sweden 3-1 a day earlier.
There's little between these squads in terms of qualify but Bet365 make the Norwegians 6/5 favourites, with the North Africans 11/5 for the win.
I wouldn't be surprised if this one ended level and that pays 23/10, while the half-time stalemate is priced at 6/5.
Norway are probably favourites because they have Erling Haaland leading their line and the Manchester City superstar is 10/11 for anytime scorer.
Greece vs Italy
Italy and Greece will be gutted to miss out on the World Cup this summer, especially with such large ex-pat communities in America.
Both sides will be thinking about what might have been when they face off tonight in Crete for a meaningless friendly instead of a warm-up game for the finals.
Under-21s boss Silvio Bandini is in interim charge of Italy's senior side and has picked a youthful squad.
The Azzurri could only edge a 1-0 win over Luxembourg in midweek while Greece drew 2-2 away to Sweden.
That suggests the home win could offer some value tonight and it pays evens at Bet365.
We only saw five corners in Greece's draw with the Swedes and under nine flag kicks tonight is priced at evens too.
Croatia vs Slovenia
Croatia welcome neighbours Slovenia to Varazdin tonight as they gear up for their World Cup opener with England.
The Croats impressed in World Cup qualifying, dropping just two points as they topped their section, but have lost their last two friendlies to Brazil and Belgium.
So coach Zlatko Dalic will be looking for a morale-boosting victory tonight before his squad flies out to North America.
The lack of a top-class striker has been a Croatian problem for years so I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals tonight and under 2.5 strikes pays 19/20 with Bet365. Combining a win for the hosts with under 3.5 strikes is slightly bigger at 20/21.
Betting against corners looks like a decent move in this game too as friendlies usually lack a bit of intensity. Under nine corners is a little bigger for this one at 11/10.
