Norway Coach Per-Mathias Hogmo warns Italy “won’t make it easier” because they’re already qualified for Euro 2016.
The Scandinavians visit Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday night for the final match in Group H.
The Azzurri secured their spot in the tournament with a 3-1 win in Azerbaijan last night, but Norway are only guaranteed a place in the play-offs.
They’ll win the group if they beat Italy and secure automatic qualification, as Croatia are two points behind and go to Malta for their last game.
“It’s possible Italy will be more relaxed after they qualified, but they certainly won’t make it easier for us,” declared Norway boss Hogmo.
“It will be a game that is open to any result.”
His side beat Malta 2-0 on Saturday evening.
“It is important that we picked up a fifth consecutive clean sheet. We did well both going forward and defending.”
The goals were scored by Alexander Tettey and Alexander Soderlund.
