This Sunday’s UEFA Nations League game sees Kazakhstan make the trip to face Norway at the Ullevaal Stadion. This result could have serious implications for Norway as they are currently in second place in the group and will want to be top come the end of the campaign.
These sides are the polar opposites of each other. Norway sit in second place in the group with them sharing points with first place Austria and Kazakhstan are sat dead last with no wins or goals under their belt.
Erling Haaland is the leading scorer of Norway in the Nations League so the global superstar striker will have to be the main man in this one as Martin Ødegaard has had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.
Predicted Line-Up: Egil Selvik, Julian Ryerson, Torbjørn Heggem, Leo Østigård, Marcus Pedersen; Jørgen Strand Larsen, Patrick Berg, Sander Berge, Jens Petter Hauge; Erling Haaland, Alexander Sørloth
Norway done well in their last five UEFA Nations League B games. Three wins, one loss and one draw has resulted in them picking up 10 points. That leaves them in second place, behind Austria as Norway have a worse goal difference. They head into this one with a convincing win in their most recent game, a 1-4 result away from home against Slovenia on Thursday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Kazakhstan. When these two sides met last time out Norway totalled 19 shots and were unlucky not to score in a goalless draw. This time on Sunday they have a great chance to try and challenge Austria for top spot by beating Kazakhstan.
Predicted Line-Up: Stas Pokatilov; Yan Vorogovskiy, Nuraly Alip, Alibek Kasym, Sultanbek Astanov; Askhat Tagybergen (c), Aslan Darabaev; Maksim Samorodov, Bauyrzhan Islamkhan, Galymzhan Kenzhebek; Ramazan Karimov
Kazakhstan have massively struggled in their last five UEFA Nations League B games. They have yet to score so far, so them having no wins isn’t much of a shock. Four losses and one draw is their official record in Group 3. They head into this one with a loss in their most recent game, a 2-0 win for Austria on Thursday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Norway and managed to hold out in a 0-0 draw. However, that is unlikely to happen again with their opponents in much better form.
The meeting that these sides had back in early September was the first time that they faced each other throughout history. With neither side coming out on top, Norway have a great opportunity to get their first win against Kazakhstan this Sunday.
Kazakhstan have not managed to find the back of the net once in any of their last five Nations League matches, including a goalless draw against Norway in the opening game of Group 3.
For that reason, our betting experts have gone with Norway To Win To Nil as our best value tip for this game.
Odds of 8/13 mean that a £10 bet has the potential to return up to £16.15 in this match.
(odds subject to change)
Norway 3-0 Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan have been unable find victory in their last five games and with Norway coming off the back off a 1-4 win over Slovenia in their last match, we can see them winning once more.
