Norway v Belgium Betting Tips
Well, it will probably be Norway’s experience in Women’s football which will get them the edge in this one. Both Norway and Belgium lost their opening fixtures in the competition 1-0 so there has to be a response from one of them and Norway are the favourites to pull it off. Norway have met Belgium ten times before competitively and they have won nine of those, the other game ending in a 0-0 draw. So that adds more weight to the threat of Norway in this one, plus of course their experience of finishing second four years ago at the Euros to Germany. A Norway 1-0 correct score at bet365 returns a price of 5/1 and that’s big value, because the tournament has been pretty tight so far. Apart from the first ever Women’s Euros in 1984, Norway have been in every other finals since then.
As for Belgium, this is their debut in the finals of the European Champions. They lost their opening game 1-0 against Denmark and looking at the head to head there’s not a lot of hope for them. However, they did win their only ever friendly against Norway back in 2015, taking a 3-2 win if that counts for anything. But those competitive losses have stacked up, for example, Belgium lost twice against Norway in World Cup 2015 qualifying. So it would be a shock if Belgium pulled out a win in this one, but they may struggle to break down the Norwegians. Both teams not to score at bet365 though is a price of 4/6 and that has some appeal for Belgium having a go at this. Norway should have the class through the likes of Adan Bergerberg (5/6 anytime goalscorer favourite) and Kristine Minde to record three points. Minde incidentally, scored hattrick over Belgium back in 2013.

Norway v Belgium Predictions
Norway to win: It is worth siding with the experience that Norway have at their disposal to go and edge the win in this one. On the evidence of the opening matches, this will one will probably also be tight and a Norway 1-0 victory has big appeal for the game.
