Slovenia v Norway Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Thursday 14th November 2024
While neither Norway nor Slovenia can be assured of promotion to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League until the final matchday, victory for either side would certainly boost their chances of hauling themselves into League A of the competition.
Hugely competitive
League B Group 3 of this season’s UEFA Nations League has proven to be hugely competitive with three of the four sides in the pool sitting level on seven points apiece and just two group matches left to play. Slovenia and Norway moved themselves clear of Kazakhstan and Austria in September, however the latter hauled themselves back into the reckoning for pole position with two victories in October, setting up what promises to be an intriguing finale. Top spot in the group will ensure automatic promotion to the elite level of the tournament, while second will be enough to guarantee a place in the play-offs, therefore the destiny of Austria, Norway and Slovenia lies in the balance, Kazakhstan condemned to bottom place after earning just a single point from their opening four matches.
All-time top scorer
Erling Haaland opened the scoring against Slovenia in the last meeting between the sides before becoming all-time top scorer for his nation when adding to the scoreline midway through the second half. With seven points collected from four games, the Norwegians are very much in the mix for top spot in the group and there’s every chance that they might soon be dining at the top table of the European game. Nevertheless, Slovenia are certainly no pushovers and they will be eager to improve upon their third-placed finish of last season’s competition.
Defensive absentees
In the last meeting between these sides, Norway swatted Slovenia aside with relative ease although a subsequent thrashing by Austria and a large amount of defensive absentees will take its toll here. On that basis, we’ll be siding with a stalemate in the Slovenian capital, this result leaving both sides locked level with eight points apiece ahead of the final round of group fixtures on Sunday.
