Slovenia vs Norway Prediction & Betting tips
According to the bookies, the game paints to be closed and with few goals. Under our perception, the process will be intense and fought, but with goals due to the fragility shown by the Slovenes in their first two games at home. Faced with this reality and knowing that they will seek their first triumph in the competition, we believe that the bet “more 1.5 goals” is interesting to bet. Remember that the “Nordics” are also a compact and balanced selection in their actions, being feasible that you can take advantage of the defensive failures of your opponent and score a goal at least this time.
Slovenia:
The Slovenian campaign in the UEFA Nations League can be classified as bad, adding just 1 point out of 12 played in Group 3 of League B. It comes to equalize 1-1 against Cyprus at home, leaving behind a streak of 3 consecutive defeats. Now his goal is to achieve his first victory in the competition for a matter of pride and dignity. It is enough to know that you have faced rivals of equal or lower category to corroborate this affirmation. In matters of goals he has scored 3 and has given 6 on his fence, standing out for lack effectiveness in attack and strength in defensive matters.
As a local, Slovenia has played two games in the group, managing to add only 1 point in total. It comes to fall 1-2 against Bulgaria and equalize 1-1 against the Cypriots as mentioned in the previous paragraph. In the first game, the first half ended 1-1 and in the second, Cyprus was winning 0-1 in the first 45 ‘minutes of play. For this duel the team is expected to improve at the time of preparation, a fact that would allow you to score one or two goals in favor. Of course, to win you need to score correctly, since you have given at least one goal in the games you played at home.
Norway:
The present of the Norwegians can be cataloged as positive after adding 9 points out of 12 possible. They have won 3 matches and are in the top of the competition. His goal is to steal a win or a draw in this exit and thus achieve promotion to the League B of the UEFA Nations League. They come from winning two straight games at home, which had the same pattern. Triumph by the minimum and keeping the fence unbeaten (1-0 against Slovenia and 1-0 against Bulgaria). If goals are involved, the “Nordics” have scored 4 goals and have yielded 1 in their goal, proving to be effective in attack and quite solid defensively.
As a visitor, Norway have played only one match so far, which was negative for their football interests (1-0 defeat against Bulgaria after equaling 0-0 in the first half and receiving the first goal in the 14th minute of the second half). . For this exit it is expected that the Norwegians take their precautions, trying to risk when the situation requires it. The logic indicates that they advance the lines at times, trying to take advantage of some punctual play or a stopped ball to score (corner or free throw near the area). At the moment, the proposal of this selected can be pigeonholed within the direct soccer that reigns in these days.
The last duel between Slovenia and Norway in the field was 5 years ago. More precisely in October 2013. On that occasion, the Slovenians won 3-0 after the final whistle (partial 2-0 advantage in the initial stage). While we spent good time in this match, we trust that the Slovenians seek to take advantage of the field factor to press, dominate and score.
