Norway vs Slovakia Prediction & Match Preview

• Stale Solbakken might manage minutes for Haaland and Odegaard ahead of the clash between Man City and Arsenal next weekend.
• Slovakia won seven of their ten 2024 UEFA Euro qualifiers.
• Norway kept just 3 clean sheets in the last 16 matches in all competitions.

Norway host Slovakia in a friendly on Tuesday evening at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo. Both outfits are hoping to make amends for their respective losses in previous exhibitions. Norway fell 1-2 to the Czech Republic on Friday evening at this same stadium.

The loss came as a big surprise if we know that head coach Stale Solbakken sent a very strong lineup on the pitch, featuring Premier League stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard. Norway desperately need a result to shift the momentum after an unsuccessful 2024 UEFA Euro qualifying campaign.

Slovakia were much better in their respective qualifying run. They won seven of ten qualifiers to finish Group J in second place. They ended a three-win thread with a 0-2 defeat to Austria in an exhibition on Saturday.

Recent Meetings

Norway picked up a 2-0 victory over Slovakia in a friendly played just less than two years ago, also on Norwegian soil.

Norway have three wins and a loss in the previous four clashes against Slovakia.

None of these four matches provided goals at both ends.

Norway vs Slovakia Prediction

Stale Solbakken might manage the minutes of his main stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard who are about to lock horns in a huge Premier League clash between Manchester City and Arsenal next weekend. Even if they do feature on Tuesday, Norway’s form has been far from ideal of late. They won just one of the last four outings across competitions. The run includes a 1-2 home loss to the Czech Republic four days ago. Slovakia enjoyed a scintillating Euro qualifying campaign. They will want to bounce back from the recent defeat to Austria and build momentum ahead of the European Championships in June. The main pick is Slovakia to win or draw at the 2.10 odds.

The lack of defensive meticulousness has been Norway’s main problem in the last couple of years. The Norwegians have kept just 3 clean sheets in the last 16 outings across competitions. These have come against the likes of Jordan, Cyprus, and Faroe Islands. The Over 2.5 goals & BTTS pick landed in three of Slovakia’s last five outings. We see the value in backing goals at both ends at the 1.90 odds.
