Slovenia is going head to head with Norway starting on 14 Nov 2024 at 19:45 UTC at Stozice Stadium stadium, Ljubljana city, Slovenia. The match is a part of the UEFA Nations League, League B, Gr. 3.
Although neither side can confirm their elevation to League A just yet, a win here will boost their chances of finishing atop Group B3 ahead of the final matchday.
The stakes could hardly be higher as Slovenia and Norway face off in Ljubljana in a critical UEFA Nations League Group B3 clash. Both sides sit precariously on seven points alongside Austria, making every remaining fixture essential in the fight for a promotion to League A. With a win, either side can seize control of their destiny heading into the final matchday, which adds to the pressure and intrigue surrounding Thursday night’s showdown.
The previous meeting between these two ended in a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Norway, led by the indomitable Erling Haaland, who has emerged as one of the game’s premier strikers. However, Norway’s campaign momentum took a sudden and shocking hit last month with a bruising 5-1 defeat to Austria, a result that revealed cracks in their defensive armour and disrupted their otherwise confident trajectory. For Slovenia, the road to the top has been similarly rocky, though they managed to respond to their loss against Norway with a gritty 1-0 victory over Kazakhstan. With star striker Benjamin Sesko back in form, Matjaž Kek’s side will be eager to leverage home advantage to exact some measure of revenge.
Norway arrive in Slovenia with a depleted squad, missing key players including Martin Ødegaard and goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, who have both been sidelined by injuries. This absence of leadership and experience leaves Haaland with an even greater responsibility, while his strike partner Alexander Sørloth must also step up to fill the void. Slovenia, however, have no such shortage of options, with Jan Oblak commanding the defence and Sesko leading the attack, supported by a midfield capable of making the most of Norway’s defensive frailties.
Slovenia have drawn six of their last nine matches across competitions and rarely lose at home. Norway might be in better form right now, but they are winless on the road in UNL. I am predicting a draw in Ljubljana.
Slovenia kicked things off with a 1-1 home draw against Austria, followed with a 3-0 victory against Kazakhstan with Benjamin Sesko scoring all four goals in September.
They were outplayed and defeated in the third round by Norway 3-0 in Oslo, ending the match with 0.79-2.33 goals, 47% possession and 11-25 shots, but bounced back a couple of days later with a 1-0 win against Kazakhstan, Jan Mlakar finding the net in the second half.
The Dragons are currently sharing the top of the Nations League B Group 3 with Norway and Austria, all three teams collecting seven points.
Group 3 of League B is shaping up for a thrilling finish, with three teams deadlocked at seven points each and only two Matchdays remaining. Among those teams, Norway and Slovenia are set to clash in a high-stakes encounter.
Norway come in as the favorite, largely thanks to the firepower of Erling Haaland, yet Slovenia has the home advantage, where they have proven formidable. With a draw unlikely to satisfy either side, both teams are expected to go all out in this decisive showdown, raising the stakes in what promises to be an all-or-nothing battle.
Norway started their UEFA Nations League journey with a goalless draw in Kazakhstan, dominating the pitch with 1.69-0.06 expected goals, 65% possession and 19-4 shots but couldn’t find the net. They bounced back in the second round by defeating Austria 2-1 at home.
The Lions were victorious in the third round at home, demolishing Slovenia 3-0 with Erling Haaland scoring a brace, Alexander Sorloth also on target but then suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Austria in Wien.
Norway are sharing the top of the table with Austria and Slovenia, all three teams collecting seven points so far.
