Norway is set to face Kazakhstan in the Nations League on Sunday, with fans eagerly anticipating the match.
Norway enters the game aiming to bounce back from a 5-1 loss to Austria in their last Nations League outing.

Kazakhstan is hoping for a better outcome following a narrow 1-0 loss to Slovenia in their most recent Nations League match. In that game, Kazakhstan held 52% possession and took seven shots, three of which were on target, but failed to score.
Slovenia took the win with Jan Mlakar’s goal in the 55th minute. Kazakhstan has struggled offensively, managing only three goals in their last six games while conceding 13.
When these teams last met on September 6, 2024, the match ended in a 0-0 draw. Kazakhstan had just 29% possession and managed four shots with none on target, while Norway took 19 shots, with two on target.
Both teams have full squads available, with no reported injuries, as confirmed by Norway’s coach Ståle Solbakken and Kazakhstan’s manager Stanislav Cherchesov.
