Spain vs Norway Prediction & Betting tips
Spain vs Norway is the headliner of Saturday’s program in the Euro 2024 preliminaries. The match, which will be played at Estadio La Rosaleda in Malaga, is scheduled to start at 19.45, in group A, where Scotland, Cyprus and Georgia. The two national teams will face each other for the 6th time in history, all the other five previous confrontations being in the preliminaries or at the final European tournament. Spain lost only once, even in the first direct confrontation that took place at Euro 2000, in the groups, but managed to qualify further from the first place, in the other four games, Spain managing three victories and a draw.
Spain:
Spain is definitely the favorite of Group A in the Euro 2024 preliminaries considering that the only stronger opponent is Norway, against whom they will debut this evening. Spain is coming after being eliminated from the eighth round of the 2022 World Cup, where it was defeated in the penalty kicks by Morocco. Although the final tournament had started very well with a big victory against Costa Rica, score 7-0, Spain played poorly in the following games, 1-1 with Germany, defeat with Japan score 2-1 and elimination from the round of 16 with Morocco who reached the semi-finals. Luis de la Fuente will be the new coach of Spain after his predecessor, Luis Enrique, resigned immediately after the elimination from the eighth World Cup 2022.
Norway:
On the other hand, Norway puts all its hopes in Erling Haaland, the young striker of Manchester City who hopes to bring them to the final European tournament that will be held next year in Germany. Norway ended 2022 with two friendly matches, managing a victory against Ireland, score 2-1 and a draw in the company of Finland, score 1-1. In the UEFA Nations League, Norway surprisingly missed out on promotion to League A, losing the last two games in the group, 2-1 away to Slovenia and 0-2 at home to Serbia, after being undefeated up to these two games and occupying first place position.
