After missing out on a place in the World Cup, the Republic of Ireland and Norway prepare to battle it out in an international friendly in Dublin.

Ireland narrowly avoided relegation to the third tier of the UEFA Nations League in September, while Norway finished just three points behind group champions Serbia.

Coach Stephen Kenny has not been doing a very good job at the head of the Irish national team since there were only 7 wins in 28 matches in charge of the selection. However, progress is being seen, even if small, and this is keeping the coach in charge.

Speaking of numbers, Ireland is regular with only 3 defeats in 14 games, however, all of them were in the last 6 games, showing a drop in the team's performance. In addition, they are not very good defensively, making a lot of mistakes and allowing their rivals a few goals.

Norway has been brilliant recently since they have been putting up a solid game. It's true that the striker Haaland is the great player and escape valve of the team, and today he won't play since he's off duty. But they still have a high-quality squad and enough to face the Irish team with good chances.

Before the defeats to Serbia 2-0 and Slovenia 2-1, the Norwegian team had lost 1 in 12 games, valid for all competitions.

Solbakken has already revealed that Haaland will be out for this contest, while there are also three others absent from Norway.

Stian Gregersen, Patrick Berg, Morten Thorsby, and Jorgen Strand Larsen are all in contention to play from the opening whistle.

Historically, Norway has a good advantage over the Irish, since in the 8 games so far there were 3 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 defeat.

With Haaland out, Ireland has the opportunity to win here but it won't be an easy task as the Norwegians arrive well tactically and with a solid game, so even if they are without their main man, I still see them as favorites for this duel.

My probable score here is 1-1 1-2

在无缘世界杯席位后，爱尔兰共和国和挪威准备在都柏林举行的国际友谊赛中决一雌雄。

今年9月，爱尔兰在欧足联国家联赛中险胜降级至第三级别，挪威仅落后小组冠军塞尔维亚3分。

爱尔兰国家队的主教练斯蒂芬·肯尼在执教的28场比赛中只取得了7场胜利，他的表现并不好。然而，进步正在被看到，即使是小的，这是让教练负责。

说到数据，爱尔兰在14场比赛中只输了3场，然而，所有的失败都发生在最近的6场比赛中，显示出球队的表现有所下降。此外，他们的防守不是很好，犯了很多错误，让对手进了几个球。

挪威队最近表现出色，因为他们打出了一场稳定的比赛。前锋哈兰德确实是伟大的球员和球队的安全阀，今天他不会上场，因为他不值班。但他们仍然有一支高质量的阵容，有足够的机会面对爱尔兰队。

在0 - 2负于塞尔维亚和2-1负于斯洛文尼亚之前，挪威队在12场比赛中输了1场，所有比赛都输了。

索尔巴肯已经透露，哈兰德将缺席本届比赛，而另外三名球员也将缺席挪威的比赛。

斯蒂安·格雷格森、帕特里克·伯格、莫滕·索尔斯比和约根·斯特兰德·拉森都有可能在开场哨响后上场。

历史上，挪威对爱尔兰有很大的优势，因为迄今为止的8场比赛中，挪威3胜4平，只有1负。

哈兰德缺阵，爱尔兰有机会在这里取胜，但这不会是一项容易的任务，因为挪威人的到来有良好的战术和稳定的比赛，所以即使他们没有他们的主要球员，我仍然认为他们是这场对决的热门。

我的可能得分是1-1 -2
