Norway take on the visitors Serbia in the round 6 match of UEFA Nations League (League B). The match will be played on Tuesday, September 27th at Ullevål Stadion (Oslo).
From the current generation of Norway, with such stars as Odegaard and Holland, fans of the "lions" have the right to expect a breakthrough. There were hopes for last year's qualification, but the Scandinavians, who started well, were not enough for the full cycle. But in the summer, in the League of Nations, they were able to show themselves well. Only Slovenia was able to survive in Oslo, and then thanks to the saves of Oblak and dedication - however, the opponent, who had been playing with ten men for half an hour, had to be squeezed. At the same time, the rest of the June meetings turned out to be victorious. In September, there was an unexpected misfire: having opened the score on the road through the efforts of Holland, the favorites managed to lose 1-2. Sheshko first assisted Sporar, and then, in the 81st minute, scored himself.

Serbia are going to the 2nd World Cup in a row, and, of course, this is what the players are “living” now. After failing the previous cycle, the Yugis called in Dragan Stojkovic, their football legend, as head coach. And with them they managed to get ahead of Portugal in qualifying, going to the World Cup directly! The Eagles do not seem to show such a level of motivation and concentration at the Nations League. They surprised in June only with a victory over the Swedes. And so they had quite expected results. The Norwegians were beaten by a lone Haaland, with weaker Slovenia having a crushing win at home and a 2-2 away draw. Moreover, by the 35th minute, the visitors led by 2 goals, but allowed the neighbors to make a comeback. On Saturday in Belgrade, it was possible to take an unexpectedly easy victory over the Swedes. Mitrovic scored a hat-trick, and all ended 4-1. However, all the same, for now, the "souths" are in 2nd place, so they need to continue in the same spirit.
Prior to this cycle, the teams played only one head-to-head, as part of the playoffs for reaching the Euro according to Nations League quota. Then Norman managed to equalize in the 88th minute at home after a goal by Milinkovic-Savic, but Sergey scored again in extra time. Bookmakers believe that the Norwegian national team will be able to win the key match. But this is Holland's confrontation against Vlahovic and Mitrovic - we recommend betting on the fact that "both teams to score" will be recorded in the match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to scored – yes.
