Women’s Euro 2025 Norway vs Italy Bet Builder & Predictions
Norway vs Italy takes centre stage at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Geneva, with both nations eyeing a coveted semi-final slot. Our Bet Builder features Italy to Win (11/8), Under 2.5 Goals (8/13), and Both Teams to Score – No (17/20). A successful £10 stake returns £70.98.
Italy arrives in Switzerland as Group B runners-up, having faced group winners Spain (1-3), beaten Belgium (1-0), and drawn against Portugal (1-1). The Azzurre have looked strongest on the road, and their defensive organisation and steel make them tricky opponents in knockout football.
Norway stormed through Group A with a perfect record, edging Switzerland and Finland before a wild 4-3 shootout over Iceland. However, their tally of five goals conceded is the joint-worst among quarter-finalists, and star defender Marit Lund is suspended after a last-minute red card in the Iceland game.
Italy to Win (11/8)
Research: Italy have just two losses in their last ten, with particularly stellar away/neutral form: five wins, one draw, one loss. Their tougher group opposition—featuring world champions Spain—should leave them battle-hardened. The Azzurre keep clean sheets in half their matches, rarely fail to score (just twice in the last ten), and are unbeaten in three straight with Norway (including two low-scoring qualifiers this year). Norway have the firepower but look defensively stretched and could be vulnerable to Italy’s discipline and experience.
Under 2.5 Goals (8/13)
Research: Italy’s last eight games averaged just over two goals each; six of those finished with fewer than three. Their matches—often slow-burning and tactical—lean to the under, especially against physically strong or well-drilled opposition. Norway have hit some goalfests in Geneva, but four of their previous six (and both recent meetings with Italy) were 0-0 or 1-1. With so much at stake and both sides familiar with tight European showdowns, another cagey affair beckons.
Both Teams to Score – No (17/20)
Research: Italy have kept five clean sheets from their last ten and failed to score only twice. Norway, despite striking in every group game, have blanked in four of their past ten and now miss their most dependable defender. Just 45% of their recent combined outings ended with both teams netting, and history between these two also leans under. Italy’s defensive structure, together with Norway’s up-and-down attack, swings this market firmly towards ‘No’.
Injuries & Team News
Norway: Marit Lund (suspended) is a major defensive absentee. Harviken and Mjelde will anchor the makeshift backline. Signe Gaupset is the form player—she bagged two goals and two assists against Iceland and will lead the line, flanked by Maanum and Bizet, with Hegerberg returning up front.
Italy: Full-strength and settled. Arianna Caruso orchestrates midfield and scored the opening goal of the campaign. Oliviero (scorer versus Spain) and Bonansea add guile out wide, with Cristiana Girelli the focal point in attack. Coach Soncin’s team are known for structure and discipline.
