Norway Women vs Italy Women Predictions

Will Either Side Blink First in This Quarter-Final Battle?

• Norway’s Leaky Defence: They’ve conceded in all three of their group games and have only two clean sheets in their last 10 competitive matches in 2025.
• Italy’s Inconsistency at the Back: Despite a strong line-up, Italy have managed just one clean sheet at the tournament, conceding late goals against both Portugal and Spain.
• BTTS Trend Strong for Both: Norway have scored and conceded in each of their last three outings, while Italy have found the net in every group match despite defensive wobbles.

Best Bet for Norway Women vs Italy Women

With the knockout phase now in full swing, there’s an air of anticipation circling Wednesday’s encounter between Norway and Italy at Stade de Genève. These two sides have taken contrasting routes to the quarter-finals of Women’s Euro 2025, but they arrive at the same destination with everything to play for. Norway, under the guidance of Gemma Grainger, dominated Group A, finishing with a perfect record but not without their own share of defensive hiccups. Scoring eight and conceding five in just three matches paints a picture of a team with plenty of firepower up front, but perhaps a little frail when asked to defend leads.

Italy, meanwhile, have had a more measured path. Their Group B journey included tough clashes against Spain, Portugal and Belgium. While they showed grit and moments of brilliance—especially in attack—they were also guilty of late lapses, particularly in the Spain game where they conceded two stoppage-time goals. That kind of inconsistency in closing matches could prove costly now that the stakes have risen. It’s a contest laced with tension and unpredictability, and with both sides boasting creative players and defensive gaps, it could be one of the most entertaining ties of the round.

Best Bet for Norway vs Italy: Both Teams to Score – Yes

Here at BettingTips4You.com, we don’t believe in overwhelming you with a shopping list of tips. We value accuracy and clarity, so we always provide a single Best Bet per match—this is our standout prediction, the one we truly believe offers the best value and most logical outcome. In this clash, our ultimate tip is Both Teams to Score – Yes. After weighing up all the data and dissecting the tactical and personnel trends, this market simply offers the most substance and appeal.

Why should punters feel confident in this? Let’s start with Norway. They might be riding a wave of wins, but it’s hardly been smooth sailing at the back. They’ve allowed five goals across their three group matches, including two in the last 15 minutes against Iceland. And no, that’s not a typo—they let in three after the 75th minute in one game alone! Italy aren’t exactly defensive titans either. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in the tournament, and that came against a lacklustre Belgian side.

But what really makes this bet tick is the firepower both teams possess. Norway’s rotating attack has kept opponents guessing, and they’ve already netted eight goals in the tournament—more than any team bar Spain. Meanwhile, Italy have been steady offensively, scoring in every group game, with Cristiana Girelli offering a genuine goal threat up top. It’s not far-fetched to see both teams finding the net, especially given the attacking momentum and defensive frailties on display.

BettingTips4You.com expert quote:

“Norway have the goals in them, Italy have the hunger to respond—and with both backlines showing signs of fatigue, backing both teams to score is the most logical and value-packed angle for this quarter-final.” – Luca Pratesi

With Italy needing to break down a Norway side that will attack relentlessly and with Norway vulnerable to counter-attacks, the ingredients are all there for a goal at each end. The likely result? A thrilling, open contest that sees both defences breached.

Predicted Scoreline: Norway 2-2 Italy
This match has the potential to go the distance. With neither team having an airtight backline and both capable of moments of brilliance in front of goal, we’re backing a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes. That should be enough to satisfy goal bettors and neutral fans alike.
