Latest Norway Women vs Italy Women team information
Norway head into the quarter-finals with a notable loss in defence. Left-back Marit Lund is suspended following her red card in the dramatic 4-3 win over Iceland. It is a shortfall that could impact the Nordic side’s ability to defend at the back. However, coach Gemma Grainger has plenty of quality players to replace thanks to her good squad depth.
On the other hand, coach Andre Soncin of the Italian Women's team has a full squad and no significant injuries or penalties. This will help the Azzurri team confidently take the field with the strongest lineup to face a Norway team that is in form.
Latest expected lineup for Norway Women vs Italy Women
- Norway Women (4-2-3-1):Fiskerstrand; Woldvik, Hansen, Risa, Mjelde; Harviken, Bizet; Naalsund, Terland, Maanum; Gaupset.
- Italy Women (4-4-2):Giuliani; L. Di Guglielmo, Boattin, Linari; Salvai, Lenzini, Caruso, Severini, Girelli; Cantore, M. Giugliano.
Latest Norway Women vs Italy Women football prediction
Norway are in their best form of the tournament. They entered the quarter-finals on the back of four straight wins (excluding friendlies), including convincing victories over Iceland, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden – all of whom are top European opponents. Under coach Gemma Grainger, the Norwegian women’s team have transformed dramatically with a modern, fast-paced and well-organised style of play. Winning 12 out of 22 official matches in just over a year shows remarkable progress under the English tactician.
Head-to-head history also favors the Nordic team. In the previous 9 encounters, Norway Women won 5, drew 3 and lost only 1 to Italy Women. In the last 3 encounters since 2022, Norway is unbeaten with 2 draws and 1 win. This is an important psychological factor when entering a high-pressure knockout match like the EURO quarter-finals.
As for the Italian Women, despite their efforts, their form has been quite inconsistent. They only managed to beat Wales and draw with Portugal in the group stage, while losing heavily to Spain and being defeated by Belgium. Italy's style of play lacks sharpness in the front line, while the defense is easily confused by fast-paced teams like Norway. Conceding 8 goals in the last 5 matches is a clear demonstration of the weakness of the blue team.
Even without Marit Lund, with a high level of form, neutral field advantage and the excitement of an increasingly perfect team, Norway Women are considered to be better and are likely to win a ticket to the semi-finals.
