Norway, meanwhile, opened the competition with a 3-2 win over Denmark before losing 2-1 at home to Portugal. That leaves both teams entering this match with three points available and plenty to play for in Group 4.
Wales Looking for a Home Response
Playing at Cardiff City Stadium gives Wales the opportunity to respond in front of a home crowd.
The Football Association of Wales confirmed that the Norway match is one of Wales' two home fixtures during this opening Nations League window, with Denmark visiting Cardiff three days later.
Wales are competing in League A, the top tier of the UEFA Nations League. The competition also forms part of the international schedule leading toward UEFA EURO 2028, with Wales among the tournament's host nations.
Norway's Threat
Norway arrive in Cardiff after collecting three points from their opening two matches.
Their opening match produced a 3-2 victory over Denmark, before Portugal won 2-1 in Norway. FOX Sports' current team statistics list Erling Haaland with three Nations League goals entering the Wales match, while Martin Ødegaard has two assists.
Those attacking players will be among the names Wales will need to monitor closely.
