Preview
Norway comes into this after a 2-0 home win over Montenegro in their previous match last month.
Elyounoussi scored in either half as Norway remained 2nd in the table with 17 points from 8 matches and are just within 2 points of table toppers, Netherlands before they meet on 16th.
The hosts can get to the top with a win tonight and would be aiming for just that.
On the other hand, Latvia lost 2-1 at home to Turkey in their previous clash last month.
Demiral’s own goal was not enough as Dursan and Yilmaz scored late on to inflict a 5th loss of the campaign on Latvia.
Latvia is already out of contention and remain in 5th place with 5 points from 8 matches.
The visitors would look to dash Norway’s hopes of sealing a top berth tonight but need to play out of their skins to get a favourable result.
Both sides met in the 1st leg of the qualifiers, where Norway won 2-0 away.

Prediction: Norway 3-0 Latvia
Norway are favourites to win this clash due to their better form and quality on show even with the absence of forward, Erling HÃ¥land.
We expect the hosts to gain another fine win and get to the top of the table before their meeting against group leaders, Netherlands in 3 days.
Latvia’s poor performances does not give them any chance of getting much from this clash and if early goals are scored, this could be a long night.
