Latest Norway vs Kazakhstan team information
Norway captain Martin Ødegaard is not part of the international break after a two-month absence. He and several other members of the squad, including Oscar Bobb, Hugo Vetlesen and goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, are all absent. Nyland's absence leaves Norway with a less experienced goalkeeper, with Egil Selvik expected to make his fourth appearance for the national team.
Norway also have problems with central defenders Kristoffer Ajer, Andreas Hanche-Olsen and David Moller Wolfe all missing. On the pitch, Erling Haaland scored his 35th international goal against Slovenia, and Antonio Nusa scored twice in a 3-1 win over the same opponents.
Kazakhstan will be without defender Aleksandr Marochkin, who was sent off for a serious foul in the defeat to Austria. Adilbek Zhumakhanov could replace him. Bauyrzhan Islamkhan will hope to get more playing time after being substituted for a red card, while Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov will value every minute of international football while away with Besiktas.

Latest football commentary Norway vs Kazakhstan
Norway's impressive 4-1 win over Slovenia has ensured they secure a top two finish in Group B3 regardless of the final day result, but they will still be aiming to top the group, although Austria now have the advantage in head-to-head form following their 5-1 win over Norway last month.
Regardless of the result in Oslo, if Austria lose to Slovenia, Norway will still top the group on the basis of the head-to-head record. After three consecutive League B campaigns, promotion is Norway's goal, and the current squad has high expectations from fans.
While Norway have been fairly consistent at home, poor away form, including a heavy defeat to Austria and just one win against Kazakhstan, has been a factor in the team's regular misses out on major tournaments.
Kazakhstan, a League D side, have made a remarkable rise but are currently in a form crisis. After narrowly missing out on Euro 2024, they are struggling in the Nations League. With 11 wins in their last 12 games, Kazakhstan are looking for a chance to improve and hopefully escape the slump.
