The Norwegian national team is made up of very strong players from the top European championships, and Erling Holand is one of the best forwards in the world. But time after time in the Nations League and in the qualifiers, the team fails. The current tournament started well for the team. Despite the fact that the Norwegians could not beat Kazakhstan on the road, it did not prevent them to beat Austria and lead the group with Slovenia.
The Slovenian national team showed excellent results at the European Championship. Therefore, the progress of the national team in the last two years is obvious. The team is not slowing down in the Nations League either. Slovenia scored four points in two September matches. On their home field, Matjaž Kek’s wards played well against Austria (1:1) and Kazakhstan (3:0).
In the last 10 home matches Norway failed to score a goal only in the match against Spain. In turn, the Slovenian national team away in eight of the past nine games managed to score a goal.
