Latest information on Norway Women vs Italy Women's team
Norway’s women’s team head into the quarter-finals with a notable loss in defence. Left-back Marit Lund will miss out through suspension following her red card in the dramatic 4-3 win over Iceland. It’s 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 football prediction Norway Women vs Italy Women
Norway are in their best form of the tournament. They entered the quarter-finals with four consecutive wins (excluding friendlies), including convincing wins against Iceland, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden – all of which are top-class opponents in Europe. Under coach Gemma Grainger, the Norwegian women's team has transformed dramatically with a modern, fast-paced and well-organized style of play. Winning 12 of 22 official matches in just over a year shows remarkable progress under the British strategist.
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 from 2022 until now, 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. The Italian 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 performance, 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.
