Norway vs. Austria Tip & Quotes, Sep 04, 2020 – 08:45 PM
On Friday evening, 04.09.2020 at 20:45, the national teams of Norway and Austria will compete against each other on the 1st day of the UEFA Nations League at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. The Scandinavians played in League C two years ago and rose as group winners with 13 points after six games. Bulgaria (11), Cyprus (5) and Slovenia (3) were referred to the rear places. Norway has not been able to qualify for the European Championships in the normal way. As one of the best teams in the C-League, you can now play the playoff games next October, which are made up of the best remaining teams of the last NL season. Serbia is now in the semi-finals and would face the winner of the other semi-finals between Scotland and Israel if they won the final. The ÖFB team finished second in a group with Bosnia-Herzegovina (10 points) in the last Nations-League season (seven points) and thus remained in league B. Northern Ireland took the last place, losing all NL-matches. Since the alpine kickers secured the EURO ticket via the normal European Championship qualification, the playoff games to the European Championship fortunately fail for the Foda elf.

The Lovene played their last international match in the European Championships qualifying in Malta in November 2019 and played the favourite role. Coach Lars Lagerbäck’s national team struggled with a narrow 2-1 victory. After the early 1-0 lead by King (7th) the Scandinavians caught the equaliser even before the break (40th, Fenech). After the break tea Sörloth scored 2-1 for the Norwegians (62nd) after just over an hour. Five minutes later King shot a foul meter and missed the preliminary decision (67th). In the end, however, it was enough for the three points.
The Lagerbäck-Elf only finished third in Group F (17 points) and missed the direct qualification for the European Championship next year. Spain (26 points) and Sweden (21) secured first and second place. Romania (14), Faroe Islands (3) and Malta (3) occupied the last three ranks. Despite the nine unbeaten games in a row (four wins, five draws), it wasn’t even enough for second place. Only the first qualifying game in Spain (1:2) was lost. In the second leg against the Iberians, Norway even scored a good 1-1 in front of the home scene.
Joshua King of the Premier League club AFC Bournemouth was the most accurate player in the Norwegian national dress with five goals. Alexander Sörloth (4) and Björn Maars Johnsen (3) joined the scoring list seven times.
The biggest hope in Norwegian football is currently Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund. The striker showed his goalscoring instincts at BVB in the last round and scored 13 goals in 15 Bundesliga matches. In the Champions League, the 20-year-old scored six goals for his old club Red Bull Salzburg last season. For the black and yellow he netted twice in the royal class.
Hopeful man and playmaker Martin Odegaard will miss the Nations-League-Spiel against Austria due to injury.
