Austria vs Norway Prediction
This fixture heavily favours Austria, given their record against Norway. While their form in this year's Euros has been topsy-turvy so far, they will look to pick up full points from this clash.
Norway, meanwhile, will look to recover from their thrashing against England. They will have to be at their best to take something from this game and secure their passage to the next round. A draw seems a likely outcome.
Prediction: Austria 2-2 Norway.
