Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 1/1 @

With a spot in League A firmly hanging in the balance, Norway will welcome Serbia to Oslo on Tuesday night for what could be a lively affair.

Starting with the hosts, missing out on a golden chance over the weekend as they were hit with a shock 2-1 loss away at Slovenia, Norway will be seeking an immediate response here. Heading into the final League B4 showdown holding onto top spot thanks to their goal difference, the Lions will be glad to make a return to home soil on Tuesday night. Knowing that a single point will be enough to clinch a League A promotion, there is no doubt that Ståle Solbakken will be calling on his attacking icon to spearhead their charge in midweek. Once again finding the net away at Slovenia over t…

Manuel Akanji has his sights firmly set on the treble after Manchester City took a huge stride towards becoming only the second English side to achieve that feat.

Jack Wilshere has no doubt Arsenal can finally end their trophy drought this season as they challenge for honours on three fronts.

The London club have not won a major trophy since 2005, but have given themselves an excellent chance of putting that right in the current campaign.

Arsene Wenger s side are two points clear at the top of the Premier League, as well as still being in the hunt to win the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup.

England midfielder Wilshere is confident they can avoid being left empty-handed again come May.

He told The Sun: People keep saying we need a new striker but Olivier Giroud has been great and Lukas Podolski can play there.

Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla have scored a few. Even I ve got a couple! We know we can create chances …

The 19-year-old midfielder is regarded as one of the biggest talents in the Bundesliga and his top-class performances for Hertha Berlin have already alarmed the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Thibaut Courtois kept his 100th clean sheet in LaLiga but the Real Madrid goalkeeper was left frustrated after a bitter goalless draw with Villarreal.

Belgium international Courtois became one of only five goalkeepers to achieve a hundred or more shut outs in LaLiga in the 21st century.

Only Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak (182) has reached the milestone in fewer games than Courtois (217).

However, the 29-year-old was more concerned with dropped points as Madrid missed the chance to increase their lead at the top of LaLiga to five points after city rivals Atletico lost earlier in the day to Alaves.

A clean sheet is not bad after conceding in the last games, he told Movistar.

It is a bit of a bitter draw because it is at home and if a direct…
