Norway return to Oslo to face Austria in the UEFA Nations League after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Kazakhstan last week. Both teams come into the match with a point each from their opening Group B3 fixtures.
Norway’s 0-0 result against Kazakhstan has put more pressure on manager Stale Solbakken, who has struggled to get the best out of a squad filled with talent. Despite fielding stars like Erling Haaland, Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa, and captain Martin Ødegaard, Norway has failed to live up to expectations, extending their poor run in 2024 with just one win in five games. They must improve quickly to secure a route to the World Cup playoffs via the Nations League.
Austria, on the other hand, earned a 1-1 draw against Slovenia in their opening match. Despite some setbacks at Euro 2024, where they exited in the last 16, Ralf Rangnick’s side has shown promise, defeating the Netherlands to top their group at the tournament. Austria will aim to bounce back to League A after relegation in 2022, and a victory here would solidify their position as Group B3 favorites.
Team News

Ødegaard is expected to lead the side again, with Haaland hoping to return to form after a quiet performance last week.
