Norway vs Slovenia: Top Two Betting Tips
Norway look to make it three wins from three in League B, Group 4, of the Nations League this Thursday when they play host to a Slovenia side who have lost their opening two matches.
Contents
Erling Haaland to Score
Haaland has already scored 3-goals in the Nations League this season and we're backing the 21-year-old goal machine to find the back of the net against Slovenia's leaky defence this Thursday. Norway's star player scored 22-goals in the Bundesliga last season and his 2-goals against Sweden at the weekend took him to 18 international goals in just 19 appearances.
Norway to Win-to-Nil
Norway have secured six wins from their nine previous encounters with Slovenia, keeping a clean sheet against Thursday's guests the last time they played host to Slovenia back in 2018. Norway have also won each of their last four fixtures in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in five of their last six matches.

Norway the favorites to maintain their 100% record this week
Norway made the short trip to Sweden at the weekend where a 20th-minute penalty from Haaland handed Norway a 1-0 lead at the interval. The new Manchester City signing doubled his and his country's lead in the 69th-minute, his third goal of the tournament, and despite Elanga pulling a goal back for the hosts late on, Norway held on to secure another Nations League victory. Norway top Group 4 following that result and boast a 100% record.
Norway Predicted Lineup: Nyland, Strandberg, Meling, Østigård, Pedersen, Elyounoussi, Thorsby, Ødegaard, Berge, Sørloth & Håland
Slovenia were away at Serbia last time out and ended up on the end of a heavy defeat. Mitrovic fired Serbia in front after 24-minutes but Stojanovic equalised for Slovenia on the half-hour mark. After the break, Milinkovic-Savic put Serbia back in front and 5-minutes from time, Jovic scored to end any hopes of a Slovenia comeback. In stoppage-time, Radonjic added a 4th-goal to wrap up a 4-1 home win for the Serbs. Slovenia not only sit bottom of Group 4 but they also have a goal difference of -5.
