Norway vs Spain - 12/10/2019

Spain will be looking to make it 7 wins from 7 qualifying matches when they face Norway at Ullevaal Stadion on Saturday night.

The hosts sit 9 points behind group leaders Spain but just 2 points behind second-place Sweden, so it’s still all to play for in Group F.

Norway are unbeaten in 5 qualifying matches. After losing their opening game of the campaign (2-1 to Friday’s opponent Spain), they have since registered 3 draws and 2 wins.

2 draws with Sweden have left Norway in contention to qualify for their first European Championship since 2000, while there have also been wins over Faroe Islands and Malta.

Norway are on a 13-game unbeaten run at home (W9,D4) which stretches all the way back to 2016.

While it may be a big ask for them to extend this run against Spain, the home side will be full of confidence heading into this match.

Bournemouth’s Joshua King has been in fine form in the Premier League this season, while Havard Nordtveit (Fulham) and Kristoffer Ajer (Celtic) can also cause problems.

Spain head coach Luis Enrique has left out Atletico Madrid duo Saul and Koke, while fellow midfielder Isco (Real Madrid) also didn’t make the squad.

With that being said, Spain still possess enough to quality and come into this match as firm favorites.

Spain have won each of their 3 qualifying matches away from home in this campaign. They have scored 8 goals in that time and have only conceded twice on the road.

In fact, they have only conceded 3 goals throughout the entire campaign and have scored a total of 17 (at an average of just under 3 goals per game).

Paco Alcacer scored twice in Spain’s 4-0 win over Faroe Islands in the previous round and the Borussia Dortmund striker has been in red-hot form for both club and country recently.

There have been 7 previous meetings between the two teams, with Norway’s only win over Spain coming in 2000. Spain have claimed 5 wins in this fixture, with the other match ending in a draw.

Norway are expected to put up a fight on Saturday, but Spain are likely to maintain their 100% record.

Forebet predicts a close match, with both teams scoring and Spain coming out on top.
