Rangnick has given Freiburg striker Junior Adamu a start, but Marko Arnautovic, the most capped player for the national team, could be considered for this weekend's game.

For Norway, Erling Haaland remains the main striker, averaging 0.94 goals per game for the national team. Alexander Sorloth and Jorgen Strand Larsen, currently on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers, are candidates to partner him. However, they will be without their captain, Martin Odegaard, who has been out with an ankle injury since September, with Manchester City's Oscar Bobb also ruled out.

Latest football commentary on Austria vs Norway

After collecting just one point from two away games in September, including a 2-1 defeat to Norway, Austria were under pressure to perform well when they hosted Kazakhstan. Although Christoph Baumgartner scored an early opener, victory was only secured after two goals in three second-half minutes from Philipp Lienhart and Marcel Sabitzer, before Matthias Seidl sealed a 4-0 win.

Ralf Rangnick's side are now level on points with Slovenia and both sides are in a race to join Norway in promotion. The group winners will go straight to League A, while runners-up will secure a playoff spot. After being relegated and having impressed at Euro 2024, Austria are determined to return to Europe's top flight this season.

The next game will be a test against an opponent Austria have beaten only once in their last four meetings, although that sole victory came in the 2020 Nations League. Erling Haaland, after missing out on a second successive Euro, returned to the international stage with the winning goal in the win over Austria in Oslo.

Haaland, Norway's top scorer, scored twice in the game, with his 34th goal coming just after half-time. Although Norway started their 2024-25 campaign with a goalless draw against Kazakhstan, two consecutive wins have taken them to the top of Group 3 with seven points.

A third straight win this weekend could see Haaland and his team-mates join Europe's top sides in League A. Norway only won the game in September thanks to an 80th-minute goal, but with home advantage this time, Austria, led by Rangnick, will be determined to get at least a draw to keep their chances of finishing in the top two alive next month.
