Spain will be looking to keep their hopes of securing top spot in Group A of Euro 2024 qualifying alive when they travel to the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo to face Norway on Sunday evening.
La Roja got the better of the Lions the last time that they locked horns in the reverse fixture seven months ago, securing a 3-0 win in Malaga.
The Lions cruised to a 4-0 success away against Cyprus on Wednesday, with Alexander Sorloth opening the scoring on his 50th international appearance before Erling Haaland (2) and Fredrik Aursnes got their names on the scoresheet in the second half.
Seeking to qualify for their first European Championships since 2000, Stale Solbakken's side currently sit third in Group A with 10 points from six games, two points behind Sunday's opponents Spain who have a game in hand.
Norway's solitary win over Spain across nine previous meetings took place in the group stage of Euro 2000, albeit failing to progress to the knockout rounds that year, and they must win again against La Roja on Sunday if they wish to stay in contention to finish in the top two of Group A in Euro 2024 qualifying.
