Contents
Sweden to Win
Both Sweden and Norway took maximum points in their opening Nations League tussles on Thursday, though the Norwegians were lucky to beat Serbia and their fortune could run out in Solna on Sunday. Norway racked up just four attempts to Serbia’s 13 and they had Orjan Nyland between the sticks to thank for their victory. Sweden looked far slicker against Slovenia (2-0) and they have the class to shine just as brightly this weekend.
Erling Haaland to Score Anytime
While we expect Sweden to eventually pocket the points against Scandinavian rivals Norway at the Friends Arena, they could struggle to keep Erling Haaland off the scoresheet. The new Manchester City signing was Norway’s match-winner against Serbia on Thursday and the 21-year-old has scored in each of his last six appearances at international level. It always makes sense to back Haaland to score and that’s where we recommend you place your second stake.

Sweden Predicted Lineup

Predicted Lineup for Norway: Nyland – Pedersen, Strandberg, Ostigard, Meling – Aursnes, Berge, Odegaard – Elyounoussi, King, Haaland
