Netherlands vs Norway Preview

Netherlands host Norway at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam on Friday evening in an international friendly between two of Europe’s most exciting national sides. Kick-off is 19:45 GMT.

The Netherlands head into this one in strong World Cup qualifying form. Their most recent result was a 4-0 home win over Lithuania in WCQ on November 17, 2025. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at Poland on November 14. Earlier in this run, a 4-0 home win over Finland, a 4-0 win away at Malta, and a 3-2 win away at Lithuania complete a sequence of four wins and one draw — a dominant qualifying campaign that has seen the Dutch find the back of the net at will.

Norway arrive having been one of the most prolific sides in European qualifying. Their most recent result was an eye-catching 4-1 win away at Italy in WCQ on November 16, 2025. Prior to that, they won 4-1 at home to Estonia in qualifying on November 13. Earlier in this run, a 1-1 home draw with New Zealand in a friendly, a 5-0 home win over Israel in qualifying, and an extraordinary 11-1 home win over Moldova on September 9 make up one of the most impressive qualifying sequences in the continent. Norway’s attack — powered by Haaland at the peak of his powers — has been almost unstoppable in this group, and this friendly represents a significant test of how far they have come as a collective.

The head-to-head record strongly favours the Netherlands, who have won four of the last five meetings between these sides, with one draw and no Norway victories. Most recently, Netherlands won 2-0 at home in November 2021 and the sides drew 1-1 away in September 2021. Netherlands also won 2-0 at home in June 2009 and 1-0 away at Norway on both October 2008 and August 2002.

Dutch supporters can watch on NPO 1, Ziggo Go and NPO Start from 19:45 GMT on Friday. Norwegian fans can watch via Viaplay Norway. Fans in the United States can stream on Fox Soccer Plus, fuboTV and ViX. German viewers can watch on DAZN Germany.
