Norway vs Bulgaria PREVIEW & PREDICTION 16/10/2018

In the first leg, Norway lost the smallest difference in Sofia. Can they take revenge for this defeat?

Norway:

Last Saturday, Norway won in its own home against Slovenia. In the added time of the first half, Salnaes was able to score the only goal in a match that was closed for the remainder. Especially the organization of the Norwegians was good, because almost nothing was given away. This also seems to be the key to possible group wins because Norway held the zero in two out of three matches. Only Bulgaria managed to score, also the only defeat for the Vikings.

On Tuesday evening one can take revenge for that defeat. A victory would also bring them straight to the head of the group. A defeat probably means the end. The importance of this competition does not need to be further clarified. Coach Lagerback therefore more than likely appeals to the same team, which has defeated Slovenia in the weekend.

Bulgaria:

Bulgaria also came into action this weekend in the Nations League. It received Cyprus in Sofia, where it won 2-1. The rest did not look good for the Bulgarians because they were resting with a disadvantage. In the second half, the goals could be completely reversed through goals by Despodov and Nedelev. In this way they keep their leading position in the group and they take a three-point lead towards Norway.

After the Bulgarian national team has been showing poor results for years, something positive is coming up. This also has to do with the fact that they are in a group with equal opponents. Yet football has also become better because their nine out of nine do not come from nowhere. National coach Hubchev does not seem to be making too many changes for the game against the Norwegians.


PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.54
