Saturday, at 17:00, Norway will receive a visit to Slovenia’s similar representative in a match for the 3rd round of the League of Nations. The game will take place at Ulleval Stadion in Oslo.
Bulgaria is in pole position, Norway can recover.
We anticipate a strong Nordic evolution on Saturday night in Oslo in a match that would normally have been more balanced than the odds show. However, the Slovene team started as the new UEFA League competition could not be worse. After a 1-2 home in front of Bulgaria, the Slovenians lost catastrophically all three points in the Cypriot realm because of an autogol in the penultimate regular game. On the other hand, Norway gives the impression that it looks visibly better than its opponent on Saturday evening. Although the Scandinavians were also the victim of Bulgaria, in a duel in Sofia where Norway clearly dominated the hostilities, they did not have any problems in imposing on Cyprus (2-0). With a host of exciting players evolving to strong European teams such as Nordtveit (Hoffenheim), Linnes (Galatasaray), Johansen (Fulham) or Joshua King (Bournemouth), the Scandinavians are the big favorites of the Oslo confrontation.
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of the hosts. Besides the fact that the Slovene do not have a real interest in this challenging competition in many parts, Norway looks much better in the game. Unfortunate losing all three points in the confrontation of Sofia in front of Bulgaria, after a game dominated almost from one end to the other, the Scandinavians will benefit from their own audience Saturday night in Oslo and we believe they will show a convincing evolution, at least as good as the one at home with Cyprus (2-0).
PREDICTION: Norway to win @ 1.70
