FW Predictions for Spain vs Norway
We're bringing you our Euro 2024 predictions for Saturday's Group A qualifier between Spain and Norway. Spain are the big favourite to win this weekend and that's not a surprise considering that Erling Haaland is injured and will miss the game for Norway. Spain have a good record against their Scandinavian guests but we're still expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes between the two countries.
Contents
Spain & Over 2.5 Goals
Our first Spain vs Norway prediction concerns the match result and the total goals scored. Spain have won three of their last four encounters with Norway and over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of those victories. Norway failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar and while Spain impressed in their opening game, they would eventually get knocked out in the first knockout round by Morocco. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of both countries' last five international matches, so you can see why we're predicting goals in this game.
Alvaro Morata to Score
Our second Spain vs Norway prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Alvaro Morata has more goals for his country than any other player called-up to the latest Spain squad and with Torres not selected, we're backing the former Chelsea man to score against Norway this weekend. Morata has netted 30-goals in 61-caps for Spain, including three at the last World Cup, and the Atletico Madrid striker has been in good form this season with 10-goals in 16 La Liga starts.

Spain vs Norway Lineups
Spain
Unai Simón, Jordi Alba, César Azpilicueta, Pau Torres, Eric García, Diego Llorente, Pedri, Koke, Thiago, Ferran Torres, Marco Asensio and Pablo Sarabia have all missed out on the latest Spain squad for one reason or another. The uncapped duo of David García (Osasuna) and Joselu (Espanyol) have been called up. Morata captains the side and will likely start up-front alone with support from the likes of Gavi and Oyarzabal.
Predicted Lineup – Arrizabalaga (GK), Gayá, Laporte, Ruiz, Carvajal , Olmo, Rodri, Ceballos, Gavi, Oyarzabal & Morata
Norway
The big miss from the Norway squad is Man City striker Erling Haaland who has netted 21-goals in 23-caps for his country. Joshua King, Omar Elabdellaoui and Kristoffer Ajer also miss out. Alexander Sørloth will lead the line in Haaland's absence and he is a great understudy with 16-goals in 45-caps for Norway. Martin Ødegaard will captain the side and his job will be to play the role of playmaker, allowing Elyounoussi and Mats Møller Dæhli to push on and support the lone frontman.
Predicted Lineup – Nyland (GK), Strandberg, Meling, Østigård, Pedersen, Elyounoussi, Dæhli, Berg, Thorstvedt, Ødegaard & Sørloth
Starting Lineups

Spain
Norway
Player to Watch: Gavi
The young Barcelona midfielder impressed at the World Cup in Qatar and is viewed as the future of Spanish football.
The 18-year-old has 17-caps and 3-goals for his country already and we're expecting him to have another good game this weekend when Spain host Norway.
Gavi is a creative player and one who can unlock defences and he could make all the difference between a win and a draw on Saturday. The Barcelona teenager has made 20 starts in La Liga this season, chipping in with 1-goal, and is quickly becoming a key member of both the Catalonian's and Spain's first-team.
