Latest Norway vs Slovenia football prediction
Norway are playing in League B for the third successive Nations League campaign, after failing to secure promotion in 2022-23. Stale Solbakken's side have three wins, one draw and two losses from six games, three points behind leaders Serbia. They started the current campaign with a goalless draw against Kazakhstan, but narrowly won 2-1 against Austria, thanks to Erling Haaland's 32nd international goal after Felix Myhre opened the scoring and Marcel Sabitzer equalised.
After picking up three points from their last game, Norway will be looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time since September/October 2023. The hosts have an impressive home record with seven wins in their last 10 Nations League games (D1 L2).
Slovenia are playing in League B for the second season running, having finished third in their Nations League group in 2022-23. They have a record of one win, three draws and two defeats, finishing two points above the relegation places and seven points off promotion. With four points from their first two games of the current Nations League, Matjaz Kek's side are just two points away from matching their tally of six from the 2023-24 edition. They drew 1-1 with Austria before comfortably winning 3-0 against Kazakhstan thanks to a Benjamin Sesko hat-trick.
Slovenia will start their trip away from home after two home games, hoping to end a four-game winless run away from home in the Nations League (D3 L1). The visitors will be motivated by the fact that they are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Norway, including a 2-1 win in their last meeting in September 2022. Both teams have strong attacking players in Sorloth, Haaland and Sesko. With all that in mind, the game promises to be high-scoring, but could end in a draw in a tight contest.
