Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day
Norway to win
Italy vs Norway
2026 World Cup qualifier, 7.45pm Sunday
Norway simply need to avoid a nine-goal defeat at the San Siro to seal automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup but the Red, White and Blue can do a lot better than that when they take on Italy.
Stale Solbakken’s men have won all of their seven qualifiers, a run which includes a 3-0 victory over the Azzurri in Oslo, and have hit a whopping 33 goals in their bid to reach next summer’s tournament.
Erling Haaland, who has found the net 30 times in 19 appearances for club and country this season, can’t stop scoring and he bagged another brace as his side hammered Estonia 4-1 on Thursday.
The absence of Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard has proved no barrier to the Red, White and Blue, and while Italy have been in good form, the 13-5 on offer about a Norway win at the San Siro looks far too big.
Odds: 13-5 bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes
