Norway hosts Austria in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League B. The match will be played on Friday, September 4th at Ullevål Stadion (Oslo)
The Norway national team didn’t advance to the last world championship. It failed to qualify for the upcoming European Championship and only won its group in the last Nations League, having outranked Bulgaria, Cyprus and Slovenia. On the one hand, the Lions have not lost for the last 10 matches in a row. On the other hand, they gained only four victories in them. But over whom? They beat Malta and the Faroe Islands two times each.

In the last Nations League, Austria played in the third group of League B and took second place after Bosnia. It also took 2nd place in the qualifying group for the European Championship, where it will play next summer. If we look at the last eight matches, the Team lost only in the last one. The Austrians were weaker than Latvia in the Euro qualification. However, Foda's men did not need anything since they won a ticket to the Euro in advance, and the coach fielded a semi-regular squad.
The Austrian national team has made significant progress in recent years. It has made it to the second European Championship in a row. It easily beat equal opponents such as Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, and Israel. There were also victories over Russia, Uruguay and even Germany, although they were gained in friendly matches. Austria is just like Germany in terms of the game model. In principle, it is not surprising. Most of its footballers play in the German Bundesliga. And the clubs they represent are far from the weakest. The Austrians play for Hoffenheim, Borussia (M). Eintracht, Bayer, Leipzig, etc. Foda is also German. All this as a whole presupposes iron discipline. It is always difficult for everyone to play against such teams. As for this pair, this is clearly demonstrated by statistics. The opponents met six times, and Norway managed to win only in the last match. Yes, but it was a friendly match. Before that, Austria gained five victories. Opponents have never tied. Such an outcome cannot be ruled out, so the visitors who are in no way inferior to the Lions must be insured with X.
Prediction for the match: Austria to win with +0.5 handicap
