Norway will be looking to boost their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 when they travel to the AEK Arena in Larnaca to face Cyprus on Thursday night.
While the hosts are still searching for their first win in 2023, the visitors are hoping to extend their winning run in all competitions to four matches.
Only European minnows San Marino (21) and Liechtenstein (19) have conceded more goals than Cyprus (17) at this stage of qualifying, with Temur Ketsbaia's side all but confirmed to miss out on qualifying for yet another major tournament.
The White and Blues were comfortably beaten in their last two matches in September, with a 3-0 home defeat to Group A leaders Scotland followed just four days later by a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Spain – their heaviest defeat since a 6-0 loss to Russia in November 2021.
Cyprus are unsurprisingly rooted to the foot of Group A and they will officially be out of contention to finish in the top two if they fail to beat Norway on Thursday or is Spain avoid defeat at home to Scotland.
