Norway take on Denmark in an anticipated UEFA Nations League fixture in Oslo, with experts backing star striker Erling Haaland to strike first. Norway's attack has been on fire, especially with Haaland’s prolific scoring, but Denmark remain dangerous having netted 23 goals in their last 7 competitive matches. Both teams are in strong form, making a high-scoring clash likely. Back goals on both sides, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals recommended. Haaland is the main man to watch.

Norway Make a Mark at the World Cup


Norway went on a great run at the World Cup, led by Erling Haaland who scored seven goals at the tournament. Stale Solbakken has been in charge since 2020 and continues at the helm.

Group stage victories against Iraq (4-1) and Senegal (3-2) were followed by a 4-1 defeat to France. Haaland scored the winning goal in a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast and netted another two goals in a 2-1 victory against Brazil.

Solbakken’s side took England all the way in the quarter-finals. The game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, Jude Bellingham scoring in extra time to send the Scandinavian side home.

Henrik Falchener, Morten Thorsby, Jens Petter Hauge and Alexander Sorloth were not called up after being in the World Cup squad. Sorloth’s spot could be taken by Oscar Bobb.

Dane's Aiming to Bounce Back


Denmark missed out on qualifying for the World Cup, a 4-2 defeat in Scotland on the final matchday sending them into the playoffs.

Gustav Isaksen scored twice in a 4-0 victory over North Macedonia before being taken to extra time by the Czech Republic in Prague. They missed three penalties to go out in the shootout.

Brian Riemer’s side played two friendlies in June, a 0-0 draw against DR Congo followed by a clash against Ukraine. Goals to Patrick Dorgu and Joakim Maehle established a 2-1 lead, the match abandoned in the 79th minute when Christian Eriksen collapsed.

Denmark Squad, Team News & Predicted Line Up


Goalkeepers: Andreas Jungdal, Mads Hermansen, Filip Jörgensen
Defenders: Joachim Andersen, Oliver Provstgaard, Joakim Maehle, Andreas Christensen, Rasmus Kristensen, Patrick Dorgu, Alexander Bah, Victor Bak Jensen, Victor Nelsson
Midfielders: Thomas Jorgensen, Victor Froholdt, Albert Gronbaek, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Mads Bidstrup, Morten Hjulmand, Mikkel Damsgaard
Forwards: Adam Daghim, Rasmus Hojlund, Kasper Hogh, Gustav Isaksen, Kasper Dolberg

Christian Eriksen collapsed during Denmark's last match and might have played his last game. Tobias Strobl, his coach at Wolfsburg, recently said: “As a coach, I have to be careful about interfering. But looking at it as a human being, I would retire.”

Victor Froholdt could play in a more advanced position than we see him occupy at Porto.

Denmark (4-2-3-1): Mads Hermansen; Alexander Bah, Andreas Christensen, Joachim Andersen, Joakim Maehle; Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Morten Hjulmand; Victor Froholdt, Mikkel Damsgaard, Patrick Dorgu; Rasmus Hojlund

Verdict

Denmark are a dangerous side on their day with more than enough firepower to trouble Norway. This should be a great game, Erling Haaland backed to score first in an end to end encounter.
