Austria vs Norway Prediction & Betting Tips (13 October)

Present among the elite during the last Nations League, Austria went down to League B this year. The objective is obviously to go back straight away. Marcel Sabitzer's teammates today occupy 2nd place in group 3 with 3 units behind the leader and the same number of points as 3rd. Disappointing last September, they had to settle for a draw in Slovenia 1-1 before losing by the narrowest of margins in Norway 2-1. The clear victory acquired last Thursday against Kazakhstan 4-0 completely revived them. During Euro 2024, Austria secured 1st place in its group, which included France and the Netherlands, but then fell against Turkey in the round of 16 1-2.

Carried by this which could be the most beautiful generation in its history, Norway is still struggling to obtain the expected results. The Scandinavian selection notably disappointed by not qualifying for Euro 2024. Erling Haaland's teammates are counting on this Nations League to take a step forward and the beginnings are proving positive. Indeed, they are currently leaders of group 3 with 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day. Held in a draw in Kazakhstan on the first day 0-0, Norway then moved up to beat, at home each time, Austria 2-1 and Slovenia last Thursday 3-0.

Austria cannot count on the solid defender Danso (Lens, 23 selection) who should quickly find the field. Furthermore, the legend Alaba (Real Madrid, 105 sel) and the replacement goalkeeper Lindner (Union Saint-Gilloise, 37 sel) are also absent from this gathering. The good news comes from the return from suspension of right side Mwene (Mainz, 15 sel). The players who largely beat Kazakhstan should largely be renewed this Monday. This is particularly the case of attacking midfielders Sabizter (Dortmund, 20 goals in 85 seasons) and Baumgartner (Leipzig, 16 goals in 44 seasons) who scored last Thursday. Winger Schmid (Werder Bremen, 1 goal in 15 seasons) is also available, as is midfielder Laimer (Bayern Munich, 42 seasons).

Substitute against Kazakhstan, the experienced Arnautovic (Inter, 37 goals in 118 seasons) is in competition with Adamu (Fribourg, 0 goals in 7 seasons) to start up front. On the Norwegian side, the essential playmaker Odegaard ( Arsenal, 3 goals in 61 games) was forced to forfeit this gathering. This is also the case of the promising winger Bobb (Manchester City, 2 goals in 8 seasons) and the full-back passed by Rennes Meling (Copenhagen, 39 years) while the winger Elyounoussi (Copenhagen, 10 goals in 55 years) does not was not summoned, nor were defenders Gregersen (Atalanta, 8 sel), Bjorkan (Bodo/Glimt, 14 sel) and Gundersen (Bodo/Glimt, 2 sel). Norway has a certain offensive potential with obviously Haaland (Manchester City, 34 goals in 36 games) and Sorloth (Atlético Madrid, 19 goals in 56 games) who both scored against Slovenia. Defenders Ryerson (Dortmund, 27 sel), Ajer (Brentford, 38 sel) and Ostigaard (Rennes, 26 sel) should be renewed, as should midfielders Thorsby (Genoa, 21 sel) and Berge (Fulham, 49 sel).
