The game will be broadcast live on ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).

How to get to Italy

Italy are enjoying a good run under coach Gennaro Gattuso, the 2006 world champion, and have won six consecutive games since his appointment. However, it is unlikely that the team will directly qualify for the World Cup. In order to beat the Norwegians, they need to win 9-0.

The Italian team is second in Group I with 18 points, three points less than Norway.

Italy will be without Moise Kean and Niccolo Cambiaghi for their home match.

Norway, on the other hand, are in a celebratory mood as they have virtually guaranteed a spot in the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. With 21 points, the Norwegians have confirmed their direct place in the event of an away draw. Additionally, a team can lose by up to eight goals, guaranteeing a spot in the World Cup.

Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard remains absent from the Norwegian squad.
