Prediction: 2-1
Norway
Raiffeisen Arena will be the centre of attention when Austria and Norway square off against each other in the Group 3 derby. Top position in the standings is at stake and we are positive that Austria will adopt yet another attack-minded approach following a 4-0 crushing of Kazakhstan. Inter striker Marko Arnautovic is pushing for a start, while Mainz defender Phillipp Mwene is back from suspension.
The Norwegians, on the other hand, defeated Slovenia 3-0 in their last group game, with Man City superstar Erling Haaland scoring a brace. Given Norway’s attacking potential with Haaland up front, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Austria, though, are closer to picking up all three points from Sunday’s clash than Norway as they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Torino defender Marcus Pedersen is widely expected to return to the starting XI, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Norway):
Norway are a Nordic side that participated three times at the FIFA World Cup finals (1938, 1994 and 1998). The Norwegians were producing fine performances at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, with the team setting up a meeting with Italy in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament thanks to a 2-1 win over Brazil in their last group match.
However, the Azzurri proved to be a big catch for Norway and thanks to Bobo Vieri’s goal the Italians made it to the quarter-finals. Norway only once qualified for the European Championship finals, with the team suffering elimination in the group stages of the 2000 tournament in Belgium and Netherlands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the most famous Norwegian player and it is well known that he helped Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final.
The “Baby-faced” striker scored the winner for the Red Devils in the dying seconds of the match. Norway play their home games at Ullevaal Stadion, which was opened in September, 1926. The capacity of the venue is 28.000.
