ROME (Interstat) — A clash of unbeatens is set for Sunday as Italy hosts Norway in a World Cup qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico. Both teams enter the Group A matchup with perfect 2025 qualifying records on the line.

Italy, the home side, sits at 5-0-0 in World Cup qualification, while Norway is a perfect 3-0-0. The match is a rematch of a July 16 encounter, which Italy won 2-1.

The Azzurri are in formidable form, boasting an 8-1-0 record across all competitions this season. Their most recent result was a 2-0 victory over Moldova on Thursday. Norway, with a 6-1-0 overall record, is equally dominant, coming off a 4-1 win over Estonia.

However, a statistical projection from Interstat’s game simulator anticipates a tight, defensive battle, predicting a 1-1 draw. This would be a rare blemish for two teams that have otherwise steamrolled their opposition.

The fixture presents a chance for Italy to avenge a 3-0 loss to Norway from June 6, their only defeat of the season. For the visitors, it’s an opportunity to prove their high-scoring offense—which produced an 11-1 win over Moldova in September—can penetrate an Italian defense that has conceded just one goal in five qualifying matches.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. local time (1945 GMT).
