[UEFA Nations League] Norway vs Austria - Both teams boast talented squads and are highly motivated ahead of this clash.
The Norwegians began their new Nations League campaign with an away match against Kazakhstan. Norway dominated the game, creating numerous chances to score. They took 19 shots on goal and generated an xG of 1.69, but were unable to find the back of the net. Kazakhstan offered little in return, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. It was not an ideal start for Norway, who were the favorites going into the match, and such a loss of points could prove detrimental moving forward.
Fortunately for the Norwegians, all teams in their group drew, so everyone currently sits on one point in the table. Norway still has a good chance of advancing to League A, but they must avoid repeating their mistakes. In the previous edition, they led the group but fell short after losing the last two matches, remaining in League B.Austria also started their UEFA Nations League campaign with a draw, much like Norway. In the first round, they traveled to Slovenia. The home side took an early lead in the 16th minute, but Austria equalized before the break, thanks to Laimer’s efforts. The match ended 1-1, and the group remains tightly contested, with all teams sitting on one point. Austria is highly motivated to return to League A.
In the last Nations League cycle, they competed in the top division but found themselves in a difficult group alongside France, Croatia, and Denmark. They managed just four points in six matches and finished last. However, Austria performed well at Euro 2024, topping a group that included France and the Netherlands and advancing to the knockout stages. In the Round of 16, they lost 2-1 in a dramatic match against Turkey, thus exiting the tournament.
