Slovenia vs Norway Prediction & Betting Tips (14 November)

Slovenia is currently 3rd in group 3 but has the same number of points as the first two in the ranking. Benjamin Sesko's teammates therefore remain in the running to win direct promotion to League A or the accession play-off but may also be forced to compete in a relegation play-off. They got off to a good start, holding off Austria 1-1 and dominating Kazakhstan 3-0 but then fell to Norway in the previous meeting 3-0. After this heavy setback, Slovenia resumed its march forward against the last, Kazakhstan 0-1 . Norway perhaps has the most beautiful generation in its history but has not yet managed to qualify for a major international competition.

In this League of Nations, the Scandinavian team aims to climb into the elite. Erling Haaland's partners today occupy the lead in group 3 with the same number of points as their opponent of the day. Held to a draw in Kazakhstan to start 0-0, they then got the better of Austria 2-1 and Slovenia 3-0. Norway, on the other hand, fell heavily in Austria during the last day 5-1 .

Present during the previous gathering, defenders Karic (Novgorod) and Zec (Celje), midfielders Repas (Maribor) and Jovanovic (Koper) and striker Kramer (Konyaspor) are absent this time for Slovenia. Full-back Gorenc Stankovic (Sturm Graz) is also missing and this was already the case in October. The essential goalkeeper Oblak (Atlético Madrid, 72 sel) is the captain of the national team. He should again be protected by the central hinge composed of Drkusic (Red Star Belgrade, 15 sel) and Bijol (Udinese, 57 sel). Up front, Sesko (Leipzig, 15 goals in 37 seasons) is often associated with Sporar (Panathinaikos, 12 goals in 60 seasons). The former Bordeaux player Vipotnik (Swansea, 2 goals in 13 seasons) is content with a replacement role.

For Norway, it should be noted the absences of goalkeeper Nyland (FC Sevilla, 58 seasons), defenders Hanche-Olsen (Mainz , 21 sel) and Ajer (Brentford, 39 sel) or even wingers Sahraoui (Lille, 1 sel) and Bobb (Manchester City, 8 sel). Furthermore, injured during the international break in September, captain Odegaard (Arsenal, 3 goals in 61 seasons) has just returned to the field but has not been called up. The offensive sector displays a lot of quality with obviously Haaland (Manchester City, 34 goals in 37 seasons) but also Sorloth (Atlético Madrid, 20 goals in 57 seasons). Defenders Ostigard (Rennes, 26 sel) and Ryerson (Dortmund, 28 sel) are available as are midfielders Berge (Fulham, 50 sel) and Thorsby (Genoa, 22 sel).
