A thrilling conclusion to League B Group 3 is in prospect over the next few days, as both Slovenia and Norway feature in a three-way tie at the top ahead of Thursday's clash in Ljubljana.
Slovenia:
Slovenia enter this crucial clash with promotion hopes in sight, aiming to capitalize on home advantage against Norway. Star striker Benjamin Sesko has been on fire, netting four goals in September, and his form will be key for Matjaz Kek's side as they seek to overcome a previous 3-0 loss to Norway. Slovenia’s recent 1-0 victory over Kazakhstan showed they can grind out wins, but they'll need a sharper attack to secure all three points and bolster their League A bid.
Norway:
Tied at the top, Norway visit Ljubljana with a strong chance of promotion, despite a recent 5-1 setback against Austria. Erling Haaland remains Norway's talisman, scoring twice in their last outing against Slovenia and becoming his nation's all-time top scorer. With captain Martin Odegaard sidelined by injury, coach Stale Solbakken will need a cohesive team effort to stay on track for League A. A win on Thursday would be a major boost to Norway’s hopes of climbing to the UEFA Nations League's top tier.
