Fabio Capello's side have reeled off three victories in a row as they step up their preparations for the showpiece tournament in Brazil, which starts next month.
Aleksandr Kerzhakov scored the only goal of the game as Russia edged out Slovakia in St Petersburg on Monday.
It will then be on to Brazil for Capello's men, who face South Korea in their first game of the tournament at Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba on June 17.
Per-Mathias Hogmo's side were unable to live with Les Bleus in Paris and Russia will be hoping to heap more misery on them on Saturday.
The former England manager will wait until next Monday's deadline before confirming his final party, though, and the clash with Norway gives players an opportunity to stake their claim for starting berths.
It will be Norway's first home game since they were beaten by Scotland in a friendly back in November and they will need to tighten up at the back, having conceded nine goals in their last three matches.
