Slovenia vs Norway Prediction
Slovenia have suffered two defeats in their last 14 games across all competitions, with one of them coming on penalties in the UEFA Euro 2024 round of 16 against Portugal. They are unbeaten in their last four home games in the Nations League, scoring eight goals, and will look to continue that goalscoring form here.
The Lions suffered their first defeat of the campaign in their previous outing, conceding at least five goals for the first time since 2017, and will look to bounce back with a win here. Captain Martin Ødegaard pulled out of the squad with an injury, which is a huge blow for the visitors.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, they are likely to settle for a draw.
