Prediction: 1-0
Jordan
Norway and Jodan go head to head at Ullevaal Stadion in what is expected to be an exciting friendly international. The Norwegians continue relying on Manchester City ace Erling Haaland, who scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 crushing of Fulham at the weekend, but the superstar could be rested for the EURO 2024 qualifier against Georgia. Fenerbahce striker Joshua King has been omitted.
Jordan, on the other hand, did well to beat Jamaica in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Norway. In their last meeting in a friendly Norway and Jordan played out a goalless draw, but Erling Haaland did not play for the Scandinavians back then. Norway are more of a team than Jordan and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Thursday’s friendly. A man to watch in the visiting team will be Hamza Al-Dardour, who has netted 32 goals for the national team to date.
Highlighted Player (Joshua King):
Joshua King is a Norway international who plays for Premier League side Bournemouth as a striker. King was born in Oslo on January 15, 1992 and he started his career at the youth team of Romsas. In 2006 the Norwegian footballer moved to Valerenga and two years later he joined Premier League giants Manchester United. Nonetheless, he did not see any game action at Old Trafford as he was immediately sent on loan to Preston.
Joshua King played for the likes of Borussia M’gladbach, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers on loan as well before signing a permanent deal with the Riversiders in January, 2013. The pacey attacker scored only three goals in 56 appearances in the league for Blackburn Rovers, but in 2015 Bournemouth chiefs decided to bring him to Vitality Stadium.
Joshua King impressed in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign, with the Norwegian striker scoring 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Cherries. King provided two assists for his teammates in the process as well.
Highlighted Team (Norway):
Norway are a Nordic side that participated three times at the FIFA World Cup finals (1938, 1994 and 1998). The Norwegians were producing fine performances at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, with the team setting up a meeting with Italy in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament thanks to a 2-1 win over Brazil in their last group match.
However, the Azzurri proved to be a big catch for Norway and thanks to Bobo Vieri’s goal the Italians made it to the quarter-finals. Norway only once qualified for the European Championship finals, with the team suffering elimination in the group stages of the 2000 tournament in Belgium and Netherlands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the most famous Norwegian player and it is well known that he helped Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final.
The “Baby-faced” striker scored the winner for the Red Devils in the dying seconds of the match. Norway play their home games at Ullevaal Stadion, which was opened in September, 1926. The capacity of the venue is 28.000.
