Norway vs Slovenia Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

An interesting battle between two teams that are on a fairly similar playing field Norway vs Slovenia is bound to be a good match that could go either way. But who can either of the sides come away with the victory and three crucial points in their UEFA Nations League group?

Norway Preview

Norway Predicted Lineup - Orjan Nyland; Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, David Moller Wolfe; Sander Berge, Partick Berg, Hugo Vetlesen, Antonio Nusa; Erling Haaland, Alexander Sorloth

Norway came into this game off the back of a win and a draw in their last Nations League games placing them second in League B Group Three.

Their ability to score goals is most impressive about them having scored eleven goals in seven games.

A big reason behind that is of course Erling Haaland who comes into this game on great scoring form for Manchester City. He has eleven goals in ten games already this season for his club, something he will look to add to, with his country. If anyone is to score it will be him.

Slovenia Preview

Slovenia Predicted Lineup - Jan Oblak; Petar Stojanovic, Jaka Bijol, Vanja Drkusic, Jure Balkovec; Tomi Horvat, Timi Max Elsnik, Adam Gnezda Cerin, Erik Janza; Andraz Sporar, Benjamin Sesko

Slovenia top the group on goal difference having also picked up four points in their opening Nations League matches. They are off the back of a win and a draw as well.

Their ability to keep teams out is most impressive with an excellent defensive record. However they struggle to score more than one goal in games which could be a bit of a setback for them here.

However if anyone is going to keep out Norway it is Jan Oblak. He has four clean sheets in eight La Liga games this season and will be keen to stop the powerhouse that is Haaland.
