The thrilling European qualifiers for the UEFA Euro returned this week after a 3-month break. As usual, the European Federation set aside two dates for the continuity of the games, as happened in March.
Scotland and Norway are part of Group A, which also includes Spain, Georgia, and Cyprus. The British lead after beating Cyprus (3-0) and Spain (2-0), scoring five goals and keeping their goal inviolable.
The Scandinavians are in third place: they lost to Spain (3-0) and drew with Georgia. Playing at home, they will have one more chance to be superior to their opponent and come out with a victory on the field.
When:
Saturday, June 17th – noon at Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo, Norway
Moneyline odds:
Norway -102
Scotland +245
Draw offs:
+230
Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Norway?
Despite not having won any match in this group, Norway is being tipped by experts to win this game. The Norwegians have players of the caliber of Martin Oddegaard, Kristian Thorstvedt, and Birger Meling – renowned athletes in European football.
In addition to these great names, the Scandinavians have the top scorer in the Premier League and one of the greatest highlights of world football: Erling Haaland. The “Android” has just won the Premier, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League, demonstrating that he can be one of the greatest strikers in the history of football. Precisely his miss on the first matches due to injury is considered the reason for his national team’s poor performance.
With the pieces he has at his disposal, coach Stale Solbakken should be confident to win his first match in this tie and keep the dream of qualifying for the next UEFA Euro alive.
Why Bet on Scotland?
Scotland has been surprising everyone and the fact that they are at the top of the group with Spain proves that. The five goals scored in two games also show the organization of this team, which has always stood out for showing the world great defenders and a very reactive style of play – looking for counterattacks.
The giant Scott McTominay, Manchester United player, has already scored 4 goals in this edition of European qualifiers and is the highlight of the Celts. McTominay scored the two winning goals against Spain, putting his team at the top of Group A and raising the spirits of his teammates.
Robertson and Tierney are also internationally known athletes and contribute effectively to Scotland’s good defensive organization, which has yet to concede a goal.
Betting on them is to believe in the good moment of this team and the unity of its players. With 2 victories against difficult opponents, the Highlanders have good arguments to maintain their good phase and seek, once again, the three points against Norway.
Final Betting Analysis: Norway vs. Scotland
Norway vs Scotland will be a very interesting duel. Norway will need to forget the poor results they got a few months ago. Meanwhile, the Scottish visitors need to do the exact opposite: keep the line they draw in may.
Despite going through a better moment, the Scottish team does not enjoy greater favoritism for this game. The likely presence of Haaland improves the chances of the hosts, making the environment conducive to a victory in front of their fans. We believe in Norway’s victory.
If you put $100 into Norway’s win, you could get $98 back for a total payout of $198.
