Prediction: 2-2
Norway
Slovenia will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Kazakhstan when they take on Norway in an eagerly-awaited Nations League game. Slovenia quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Norway and they must be high on confidence ahead of the reverse fixture. The good news for the hosts is that Crvena Zvezda defender Vanja Drkusic has overcome his injury. As always, a man to watch in the home side will be Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Despite overcome his injury, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has been left out of the Norway Nations League squad. Man City superstar Erling Haaland made the cut and we predict that the former Borussia Dortmund man is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. As Stale Solbakken’s men experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Austria, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Miha Zajc):
Born in Sempeter pri Gorici, Slovenia, Miha Zajc started his career in Interblock, recording only five appearances before moving to NK Olimpia on a loan deal. In season 2013/14, the attacking midfielder made 13 appearances in the Slovenian Prva Liga, netting 5 goas in the process.
After yet another loan deal, now with Celje, Miha Zajc moved to NK Olimpia on a permanent deal. The player can perform as an attacking midfielder and as a central midfielder. During his 81 appearances for NK Olimpia, Zajc scored 20 goals and recorded 12 assists, which was good enough for the Empoli officials to sign the 24-year-old for about €1.7 million.
In 2017/18, Zajc helped Empoli win Serie B with 8 goals and 14 assists. Thanks to his good performances, he made his debut for Slovenia national team in March 2016 and has played in 5 games so far, with one goal on his tally.
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.
