On Tuesday night, Norway hosts Bulgaria in the UEFA Nations League C, as the two teams wrestle for top spot in Group 3.
Norway have been on an outstanding recent run of form, as the Scandinavian side have now won six of their last seven international matches, including UEFA Nations League games against Cyprus and last time out Slovenia.
The home side’s only blip in that seven-game run was a 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture in Bulgaria. Norway’s recent international games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games, including their last four matches.
Norway are strong on home soil, as the Scandinavian side are now nine games unbeaten on home soil, having recorded seven wins in the process.
However, the home side’s recent games have been low scoring, as seven of their last eight matches on home soil have produced under 2.5 goals. The fact that Norway have kept clean sheets in five of their last six home games has been a big contributing factor in those low scoring games.
Bulgaria heads to Scandinavia in decent form, having recorded five wins in their last six outings in the international game, including winning their last four games. The visitors have also won all three of their UEFA Nations League games so far, topping Group 3.
The visitor’s recent matches have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games.
While Bulgaria have avoided defeat in their last two away games, they had lost their previous six games on their travels. The visitors also conceded at least two goals in all six of those aforementioned defeats away from home.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will be hard to separate and that the pair will produce a low scoring draw.
