Norway vs Sweden Predictions

• Norway kept four clean sheets across their last five internationals.
• Sweden have only beat Norway on their own turf once in this century.
• Sweden failed to score in four of their last six away internationals.

Norway through for Sweden

Norway maintained their position at the top of this Nations League group despite a goalless draw with Slovenia last time out while maintaining their unbeaten record in the group (W2, D1). Here, Norway have a chance to win back-to-back games over their Scandinavian rivals for the first time since a pair of games between 2004-05!

With Erling Haaland leading the line, it is dangerous to underestimate the scoring potential of this Norway side. That said, a solid Norwegian backline has kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches, suggesting that even one goal could be enough to see off the threat of Sweden in this encounter.

Sweden hold a significant dominance in the all-time H2H record (W59, D25, L25) though it seems that it is Norway who are in the ascendency at present, with the hosts unbeaten in nine of the last ten encounters.

Stick with the hosts

Following a home defeat to Serbia in the last round, it seems like this Nations League campaign is slipping away from Sweden. The goal now could be simply to avoid relegation, barring an almost perfect run of results that could still see them promoted.

Such an outcome is unlikely based on Sweden’s recent form, the visitors failed to win five of their last six away internationals and didn’t even get on the scoresheet in four! As such, we predict that Norway will win this game to maintain top spot in Nations League group B4.

As for the correct score, a straightforward 2-0 home win looks likely, perhaps with the talismanic Erling Haaland contributing to the scoring.
