Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Nations League match.
Norway
In their first match against Kazakhstan, Norway dominated for most, if not all, of the game, taking nearly 20 shots on goal but failing to score even once. Such a start can't be seen as positive for the Norwegian side, who were rightfully considered favourites against Kazakhstan, but losing precious points could affect their final standings. Moreover, they have been far from their best form lately, winning just once in their last five matches, and that was against Kosovo.
Austria
Yes, Austria also kicked off this campaign with a draw, but getting a point in Slovenia is more of an achievement than a loss. Given these initial results, both teams will be eager to secure their first three points, which could lead to goals from both sides, as another loss of points could be fatal in the long run.
Norway - Austria Prediction
A bet on goals from both sides is justified and understandable based on the group standings. Austria appear to be the more balanced team. Ralf Rangnick has built a system that easily handles troubled opponents, and Austria should be able to beat such a Norway.
