Norway Ladies

Norway Ladies World Cup Prospects & History

FIFA World Ranking: 4
SkyBet Odds: 7/1

Qualifying

In a group including Italy, Greece and the Ukraine Norway won every game bar one, a 2-2 draw with Ukraine, to qualify comfortably.

Look Out For

Bente Nordby is likely to be one of the tournaments top goalkeepers and Ana Stangeland is an imposing defender.

Prospects

Norway are traditionally one of the strongest nations in womens' football and are one of the three countries to have lifted the World Cup.
They are obviously among the favourites again but I feel they may be a waning force.
