Venue: Stockhorn Arena
Norway return to action on Thursday 10th July at 20:00 BST in Thun, where they face already-eliminated Iceland in their final Euro 2025 Group A fixture. Norway, led by manager Gemma Grainger, have already secured a place in the quarter-finals following back-to-back wins over Switzerland and Finland. In contrast, Thorsteinn Halldorsson’s Iceland side were officially knocked out after a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland, extending their winless Euros run. With nothing at stake for Iceland and top spot already clinched by Norway, this match may serve as an opportunity for rotation and experimentation — or one last statement of dominance.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Team News
Norway Women vs Iceland Women team news centres around contrasting objectives. Norway have the luxury of resting key players such as Ada Hegerberg, Caroline Graham Hansen, and Frida Maanum after confirming top spot in Group A. However, considering the disjointed performances seen in both previous group matches, Grainger may view this fixture as vital preparation to refine attacking cohesion before the quarter-finals. Expect limited rotation, with emphasis on building chemistry.
Caroline Graham Hansen remains the standout performer, having contributed decisively in both group games. Despite an underwhelming team performance, she netted the late winner against Finland and forced the own goal that opened the scoring.
Iceland, meanwhile, may use this game to provide minutes to fringe players after a disappointing campaign. Their defensive frailties were exposed again in the loss to Switzerland. Cecilia Runarsdottir is likely to keep her place in goal despite late pressure from alternate options. Veteran Glodis Viggosdottir should anchor the defence, while the likes of Alexandra Johannsdottir and Karolina Lea Vilhjalmsdottir could get another opportunity in midfield.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Betting Tips
Norway Women vs Iceland Women betting tips lean strongly in favour of the Norwegians, but caution is warranted. Norway have not looked convincing despite winning both group games, relying heavily on moments of individual quality. Their late win against Finland masked large stretches of defensive disorganisation and a lack of fluidity in attack.
However, Iceland’s tournament has been markedly poor. A loss to Finland and a lacklustre performance against Switzerland — where they failed to manage a single shot on target in the second half — underline their lack of cutting edge. With their exit confirmed, motivation will be low, and this could be the opportunity for Norway’s frontline to finally click.
We recommend looking towards goalscoring markets, particularly with Caroline Graham Hansen’s consistent threat. Additionally, considering Iceland’s habit of conceding late (goals after 75 minutes in both group matches), second-half goals markets offer value.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Match Prediction
Our Norway Women vs Iceland Women prediction is a Norwegian win, though the margin of victory may not be as emphatic as some anticipate. Norway are yet to produce a fully dominant 90-minute display, while Iceland will look to bow out with some dignity and likely sit deep in an attempt to frustrate.
Nevertheless, the quality gap remains significant. If Grainger fields a near-full-strength lineup, expect Norway’s superior technical quality and individual brilliance to eventually break Iceland’s defensive resistance.
Match Prediction:
Norway Women to win. Bet with bet365.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Score Prediction
Our Norway Women vs Iceland Women score prediction is Norway 2-0 Iceland. We anticipate another slow-burning performance from Grainger’s side, with eventual breakthroughs either side of half-time. Iceland may manage spells of possession, but their inability to convert pressure into clear chances is likely to continue.
Should Norway rotate heavily, a narrower result could occur. However, if key players like Graham Hansen and Hegerberg feature for most of the game, a clean sheet and multiple goals remain the most probable outcome.
Correct Score Prediction: Norway Women 2-0 Iceland Women. Bet with bet365.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Over/Under Goals Prediction
For our Norway Women vs Iceland Women Over/Under goals prediction, the Over 2.5 Goals market offers strong appeal. Iceland have conceded twice in each of their group matches and are likely to face increased pressure from a Norway side seeking to sharpen attacking mechanisms ahead of the knockout rounds.
That said, Norway’s inefficiency in front of goal suggests that the Over 3.5 Goals market carries more risk. For those seeking value in more conservative options, Norway to score Over 1.5 Goals stands out as a safer play, particularly given Iceland’s lack of resistance late in matches.
We do not expect Iceland to score unless Norway’s defensive structure completely collapses. Thus, Under 0.5 Iceland goals is also viable.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women Bet Builder Tip
Our Norway Women vs Iceland Women Bet Builder tip combines value and realism:
Caroline Graham Hansen to score anytime,
Norway to win,
Over 1.5 Norway goals
Graham Hansen has been Norway’s most consistent attacking outlet, delivering in both group games and leading most offensive phases. Against a porous Iceland defence, her ability to drift inside and find space should result in further goal involvement.
Norway are unlikely to keep their foot entirely off the gas despite qualification being secured, and Iceland’s lack of composure under pressure should see them concede at least twice. This combination provides a strong foundation for an effective Bet Builder.
Bet Builder Tip: Norway to win, over 2.5 goals, and Caroline Graham Hansen to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
