Norway will have had high hopes of qualifying for the Euro 2024 finals when the draw was made, although that 2-1 home defeat to Scotland will end up proving costly to a team who have seven points from five games played. Erling Haaland might be one of the best forwards in the world although he’s now likely to be absent in Germany.
The Manchester City man did recently find the net to help his country win games against Cyprus and Georgia, although they will need to not only beat Spain in this clash but rely on La Roja dropping points against Scotland in the previous clash. It looks a forlorn hope although there is plenty of pride at stake.
Spain can often flatter to deceive and this was in evidence at the 2022 World Cup when Luis Enrique’s side produced some stunning football initially only to be beaten by Morocco in the round of sixteen. However, they did claim a Nations League win in the summer when overcoming Italy before beating Croatia on penalties.
Whether the Spanish can contain Haaland and Martin Odegaard remains to be seen and perhaps anyone backing an away victory might want to consider this combined with both teams to score.
