Norway vs Scotland Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 17th June 2023
At Ullevaal, Norway and Scotland will face each other this coming Saturday. It is the third round of the qualifying stage for the European Championship with both anxious to earn more points. Norway claimed a 4-0 win, while Scotland answered back with a 0-1 win in their two most recent meetings.
After the second round of matches in the group stage, Norway are placed as number four on one point points, while Scotland have six points as number one. Norway go into their game on Saturday as number 44 in the FIFA world ranking, and Scotland enter the match as number 36.
It is perhaps unrealistic to expect Norway to come out on top of their group; however, it would be unexpected for them to not qualify for the upcoming tournament from this group. It would be a surprise if Scotland managed to progress beyond the qualifying group stage, considering their status as an underdog to make it to the next stage.
Norway vs Scotland Prediction
Norway Form
Norway are without a win from their previous three outings, as Finland managed a draw, before they lost 3-0 against Spain. Their latest match ended in a 1-1 draw with Georgia. Norway managed to win just once in their last six internationals, while drawing two and losing three. They scored five and conceded ten times.
Scotland Form
Scotland look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Turkey, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Cyprus in a 3-0 win. They followed that up with a 2-0 win against Spain in their most recent outing. Scotland performed a very admirable four wins in six internationals, while they also drew one and lost one. They scored 11 times, while also conceding eight goals.
Norway look a little out of sorts and confidence could be vital to which way this encounter turns out. With the home side short on confidence, Scotland is the value bet.
Norway have not won any of their last 3 games in a row.
Scotland won their last four matches without conceding a goal.
