Maanum is looking for a teammate with a low pass into the sixteen. There he rushes past all the players and Burns can pick up the thing.

Northern Ireland started early in the first few minutes and seemed to surprise their opponents a bit. Norway hardly has time for a quiet build-up game. Cheeky appearance of the outsider.

First chance for goalscorer Ada Hegerberg! Guro Reit plays the ball well from the left into the striker’s path. She penetrates the penalty area, but warps when pressed from about 13 meters and a half-left position.

We expect the Northern Irish very low. Kenny Shiels’ Elf will initially be keen not to fall behind too early and not get under the wheels.

The direct comparison also underscores the Norwegian women’s role as favourites. They won both games in the European Championship qualifier 6-0. Graham Hansen was the outstanding player. She scored three times in the first leg and twice in the second leg.

Norway are the clear favorites going into this game. Martin Sjögren’s team is ranked 11th in the world and has several stars in its own ranks. With Ingrid Engen and Caroline Graham Hansen, the Scandinavians have two exceptional FC Barcelona players in their team.

The two teams from Norway and Northern Ireland meet again. The two nations met in qualifying for the European Championship. The Norwegians took first place with six wins from six games. Northern Ireland finished second and had to go to the playoffs against Ukraine.
