Current streaks

Recent form

Norway

Norway have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable upturn in their last two games. The Norwegians have scored an impressive 11 goals in their last six matches, averaging 1.83 goals per game, whilst conceding 10. Their most recent outing was a resounding 4-1 victory over Slovenia in the UEFA Nations League, which followed a heavy 5-1 defeat to Austria. These two matches highlight the team's inconsistency, as they've been involved in high-scoring affairs with 83% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. Norway have managed two clean sheets in this period, but both teams have scored in 67% of their matches, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. The team's goal difference of +1 over these six games suggests a relatively balanced performance overall, though their form has been somewhat erratic with no consistent winning or losing streaks beyond two matches.

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan have been experiencing a challenging period in their recent fixtures, with a concerning run of form. The team have failed to secure a victory in their last nine matches, enduring five consecutive defeats in their most recent outings. Their sole positive result in the last six games was a goalless draw against Norway in the UEFA Nations League. Defensively, Kazakhstan have struggled, conceding 13 goals in their last six matches, with particularly heavy defeats against Austria (4-0) and Slovenia (3-0). Their attacking output has been limited, scoring only twice in this period, both goals coming in a 3-2 loss to Azerbaijan. Kazakhstan have managed just one clean sheet in their last six games, highlighting their defensive frailties. With an average of 2.5 total goals per game, their matches have been evenly split between those featuring over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a mix of high-scoring affairs and tighter contests.

Recent home/away form

Norway

Norway have been in impressive form at home, winning four of their last six matches and losing only once. The team are currently on a three-game winning streak, which includes two clean sheets. Their attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 2 goals scored per game and a total of 12 goals in their last six home fixtures. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding just 0.67 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. The matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. Norway's most convincing victories came against Slovenia and Kosovo, both ending in 3-0 wins. Their only defeat in this period was a narrow 2-1 loss to Czechia, showcasing their overall resilience at home.

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan's recent away form has been abysmal, with the team suffering a dismal run of six consecutive defeats. Their defence has been particularly porous, conceding a whopping 19 goals in these matches, averaging over 3 goals conceded per game. The team's attacking output has been equally disappointing, managing to score just 4 goals across these 6 matches. Notably, there have been two high-scoring encounters: a 5-0 drubbing by Greece in the Euros Qualifiers and a 4-0 loss to Austria in the UEFA Nations League. Kazakhstan have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, and all six matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. This dreadful away record suggests Kazakhstan are struggling significantly on their travels, with their defence in particular need of urgent improvement.
