The primary argument for betting on "Over" (total goals) is the phenomenal form of Norway striker Erling Haaland. He has scored 64 goals in 56 matches for the national team, including 30 in his last 20 appearances. The forward has found the net in 15 of his last 16 competitive international matches, scoring braces in 8 of the last 10 games. Stopping him while he is in such form is extremely difficult.
Statistics confirm the scoring prowess of both teams. Four of Norway's last five matches saw over 2.5 goals scored, and both teams found the net in all five of those games. The situation is similar for Wales: the Welsh have conceded in each of their last five matches, though they have hit the "Over" total in only two of those five games.
Head-to-head data also points to a high-scoring match. There is a 60% probability of the total exceeding 2.5 goals, and a 75% chance that both teams will score. Given Norway's attacking potential and Wales's vulnerable defense, an exchange of goals and an "Over" result appear to be the most likely scenario.
