Wales hope to repeat Haaland plan in Norway Nations League tie

Wales travel to face Norway on Saturday in the Nations League, with BBC Sport reporting that they hope to repeat the approach that kept Erling Haaland quiet a month ago.

BBC Sport reports that Norway host Wales in a crunch Nations League match on Saturday, with the home side aiming to end a rare losing streak for Erling Haaland and his team-mates.

According to another BBC Sport story, Haaland can seem unstoppable, but Wales managed to stop him a month ago. BBC Sport says they hope the same plan will work again in Norway.

James expects a response

BBC Sport also reports that Wales winger Dan James believes his side proved a point when they beat Norway. The report says James is wary that Haaland's team will now want to do the same to Wales in Oslo.

The numbers

Haaland's club form, according to MFF's data, is mixed. Manchester City are third in the Premier League after 10 games, with 21 points and a goal difference of 8. Their last five results read WWLLL.

Haaland himself has played in all of those matches this season. His figures:

  • Appearances: 10, all of them starts
  • Minutes: 890
  • Goals: 9
  • Assists: 0
  • Yellow cards: 0

Those figures are for Manchester City. Wales will need to deal with a forward who has scored in the majority of his club games this season.
