Norway take on the visitors Slovenia in the round 3 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 9th at Ullevål Stadion (Oslo).
Norway national team in the 21st century has never played in the "big" tournaments. But now they have new stars, and with them new expectations. Last year, in qualifying, the Scandinavians were fighting, but then they were not enough for a complete selection - as a result, both the Turks and, especially, the Dutch turned out to be stronger. Now Erling is not just in the ranks, it was the scorer who “made the difference” in the June matches. It was the rookie Manchester City who scored the only goal in Belgrade in the 26th minute against Serbia. On June 5, in a derby with neighbors, the goalkeeper scored a brace at all (although he opened the account by converting a penalty). As a result, Sweden was beaten and Norway lead the standings of this group.

Slovenia are disappointing again. Last year, in qualifying for the World Cup, the national team, with some success, eventually lost not only to Croatia and Russia, but also, according to additional indicators, to Slovakia. The only more or less serious success for the team was just the League of Nations - according to the results of the last draw, they managed to take 1st place in the C division group. Both previous June matches were extremely unsuccessful for the Slovenes. First at home they lost 0-2 to Sweden, conceding at the end of each of the halves. And on June 5, there was a complete rout in neighboring Belgrade. The 1st half ended in a draw, 1-1, but after the break the hosts scored three times and brought it to 4-1 in their favor.
Norway did not enter due to damage to Midste, Svensson and Brethwaite. Slovenia is left without Stulac and Kramer. In 9 head-to- heads, Slovenia was able to take only 1 victory with 6 defeats. The last meeting, in 2018, also in the League of Nations, brought a draw 1-1. Bookmakers consider Norway to be the clear favorite of the pair. They really did better in both previous matches, so it’s worth betting on the hosts to win with a handicap of “-1 goal scored”.
Prediction for the match: Norway to win with -1.0 handicap.
