Northern Ireland v Norway Official Match Programme

The equation facing Michael O'Neill's

men this evening is a positive one as

they bid to build on a return of seven

points from their opening four pool

games.

A win over Norway would cement

our grip on the runners-up spot and

open up a seven-point gap on the

Norwegians who currently lie second

bottom of FIFA World Cup Russia 2018

Qualifying Group C.

“If we win we'll establish a nice

comfortable gap between ourselves

and Norway,” said Ward.

“It won't be easy and we expect a tough

game, but it's a big incentive. That's our

aim.”

Nottingham Forest winger Jamie Ward is determined

Northern Ireland will be sitting pretty come the midway

point of the World Cup qualifying campaign.

THE BATTLE

FOR SECOND

PLACE IS REALLY
