Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Cyprus
Following a heart-breaking 2-1 loss to Scotland, Norway will be aiming to keep their EURO 2024 qualification hopes alive when they take on Cyprus on Tuesday evening. The Norwegians conceded two late goals in Saturday’s qualifier and, as a result, they sit in 4th place in the standings ahead of the visit of Cyprus. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Erling Haaland, who scored the opener against Scotland, while Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi is pushing for a start.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back in the EURO 2024 qualifiers and seeing that this has to go down as a must-win game for Norway, we predict that the visitors will return to Nicosia empty-handed. In their last meeting in a competitive match (Nations League 2018) Norway defeated Cyprus 2-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
Highlighted Team (Cyprus):
Cyprus’ first match took place back in July, 1949, only one year after they became a member of FIFA. The Cypriotes played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Maccabi Tel Aviv and seven days later they played their first international game. Cyprus suffered a 3-1 loss to Israel in Tel Aviv back then and in November, 1960 they had their first official match as an independent country.
The Cyprus national football team shared the spoils with Israel in the 1962 World Cup qualifier and three years later they recorded their first international win (3-1 over Greece). Cyprus suffered their biggest loss on May 21, 1969, with the team losing to West Germany 12-0 and in 2000 they hammered Andorra 5-0 which is considered the team’s biggest win.
The Cypriotes have yet to qualify for the finals of the FIFA World Cup or the European Championship, but their victory over Bosnia in Zenica in the Euro 2016 qualifiers will be remembered. GSP Stadium in Nicosia is considered the national team’s home ground.
