Parken, Copenhagen
Tuesday 17 November, 7:45pm GMT (8:45pm local time)
Norway must beat Denmark in Copenhagen on Tuesday to overtake them for second place in Nations League Group 4 and reach the quarter-finals in March, while Denmark need only a draw after winning 4-1 at Portugal on Saturday.
Kick-off at Parken is at 7:45pm GMT (8:45pm local time), and Erling Haaland, who scored twice when Norway won 3-2 in Oslo in September, is the player Denmark must contain if the visitors are to get the result they need.
Preview and form guide: Denmark vs Norway
Norway beat Wales 3-1 on Saturday through goals from Antonio Nusa, Andreas Schjelderup and a late Haaland penalty, a result that kept their quarter-final hopes alive and secured top seeding for EURO 2028 qualifying.
That penalty took Haaland to 66 goals in 60 caps for Norway, a national record, and he has four goals in five Nations League games this season.
Their results have been less convincing, because Norway have lost three of their last five matches, each of them 1-2, and Tuesday is only their third away game of the campaign after defeats at Wales and Portugal.
Norway have scored in all five of those matches, nine goals in total, and both of their wins needed three goals.
Denmark's win in Braga came through a Pierre-Emile Højbjerg penalty before half-time, two Rasmus Højlund goals in seven minutes after the restart and a Joachim Andersen strike on 75 minutes.
Højlund now has five goals in five Nations League games, one more than Haaland, after saying he felt he should have taken the penalty that Højbjerg converted.
Brian Riemer ranked the display as the best of the last two years, and he used five substitutions partly to protect players who were one yellow card away from a ban.
The defence remains the concern, because Denmark conceded four at home to Portugal and three in Oslo, and their two clean sheets both came against Wales.
Denmark have won one and lost one of their two home games in the group, beating Wales 2-0 and losing 4-2 to Portugal, so Parken has offered no guarantee.
Both sides are priced at 2.63 to win, so anyone comparing prices before kick-off can start with our guide to the best football betting sites.
Team news and predicted line-ups for Denmark vs Norway
Denmark team news
Joachim Andersen is the main doubt after scoring in Braga and leaving with a ligament knock, and Riemer expects him to be fit but has said it takes about a day to know for certain.
Victor Nelsson replaced Andersen in Braga and is the cover at centre-back, while Patrick Dorgu and Kasper Dolberg are injured and Andreas Christensen is unavailable.
Gustav Isaksen, Rasmus Kristensen, Joakim Mæhle, Mohamed Daramy and Mads Hermansen are each one yellow card away from a suspension, although no ban has been confirmed for any of them.
Riemer chose not to rotate in Braga, so the team that started there is the likeliest starting point on Tuesday, with Hermansen in goal and Andersen's fitness the open question.

Hermansen; Bah, Andersen, Provstgaard, Mæhle; Hjulmand, Højbjerg; Isaksen, Damsgaard, Daramy; Højlund
Norway team news
Fredrik Aursnes is injured and Jørgen Strand Larsen withdrew from the squad, so Hugo Vetlesen and Erik Botheim were called up in their place.
Martin Ødegaard played until stoppage time against Wales after being sick throughout the previous night, and Solbakken called it an achievement.
Egil Selvik started the last two matches in goal after Ørjan Nyland was dropped for the first time in more than five years, but Solbakken has not said who will play at Parken.
Kristoffer Ajer, Julian Ryerson and Ødegaard are each one yellow card from a ban, and the side that beat Wales is the likeliest line-up, with Thelo Aasgaard and Patrick Berg competing for a midfield place and Schjelderup pressing Oscar Bobb.
Prices can move once the line-ups are confirmed, so anyone tracking the market may want to see the new betting sites alongside the established names.

Head-to-head record: Denmark vs Norway
Norway's win in Oslo on 24 September, their first over Denmark in 28 years, was built on goals from Oscar Bobb and Haaland inside the first 18 minutes.
Mikkel Damsgaard pulled one back before the break and Højlund levelled on 60 minutes, before Haaland scored his second of the night on 74 minutes and David Møller Wolfe was sent off in stoppage time.
Denmark lead the overall record with 54 wins from 87 meetings, but their last win over Norway came in a friendly at Parken in June 2024, which is too far back to say much about Tuesday.
