These two sides have very different footballing histories. Northern Ireland have never before qualified for a major tournament, but beat Ukraine in a playoff last year to make it to this stage.
What happens next is anyone's guess, but a world ranking of 47 — the lowest of the 16 teams to have made the finals — implies they'll struggle to qualify. A point (or more) against Norway would be a great start, but the Norwegians are a class act.
This is a side that has won the Euros twice and the Olympics and World Cup once each, and that reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 World Cup. Their world ranking of 11 marks them out as dark horses for the tournament and it's hard to see anything other than an opening win for them here — not least because their star striker, Lyon's Champions League winner Aga Hegerberg, looks in red hot form.
