The clash between Norway and Slovenia kicks off on Thursday at Ullevaal. This is the third round of the Nations League B group stage and things are beginning to heat up. Norway last faced Slovenia on 24 September 2022 at Stozice Stadium, Ljubljana, when Slovenia scored a 2-1 win.
Whereas hosts Norway sit as number 47 in the FIFA world ranking, visitors Slovenia arrive on Thursday as number 51.
Following two rounds of matches in the group stage Norway sit as number two with four, while Slovenia collected four as number one. Collecting four points in their first two Nations League B matches, Norway are feeling good about their chances to see the next stage. Another win and they'll be bouncing.
Norway are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady ten goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of one per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 12 goals, or an average of 1.2 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.
After collecting four points from their first two Nations League B outings, Slovenia have their target set on getting through the third round undefeated. Naturally, they hope to keep their momentum rolling and challenge for a top spot in the group.
Slovenia scored ten goals, conceded 11 and managed two clean sheets in their previous eight matches.
Norway vs Slovenia Prediction
Norway Form
In their last three matches, Norway lost 3-1 against Denmark, drew 0-0 against Kazakhstan, before winning 2-1 against Austria. Norway claimed a modest two wins in their past six internationals. They also drew two and lost two, scored eight goals and conceded seven.
Slovenia Form
Slovenia look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 0-0 against Portugal. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Austria in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Kazakhstan in a 3-0 win. Slovenia only have one paltry win to show from the last six internationals. These six matches also produced a record of four draws and one defeats, as they were outscored by six goals to six.
Bookmakers have Norway down as rather big favourites for the win against Slovenia. While it might prove a bit more troublesome than odds suggest, we find it equally tempting to side with the hosts.
