The Euro qualification match between Norway and Spain will take place at Ullevaal Stadion on Monday at 12:15 am IST.
Spain aims to maintain their chances of securing the top position in Group A of the Euro 2024 qualifiers when they head to the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo to play against Norway on Sunday evening. La Roja previously defeated Norway with a 3-0 victory in Malaga seven months ago. Norway, who initially struggled in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, has bounced back, winning their last three matches, including a 4-0 win against Cyprus.
They currently stand third in Group A with 10 points, trailing Spain by two points, but Spain has a game in hand. Norway’s only win against Spain was during the Euro 2000 group stage, and they need to secure another victory on Sunday to stay in contention for a top-two finish in Group A. Ranked 43rd in the FIFA world rankings, Norway is aiming to extend their home winning streak to four matches, a feat they haven’t achieved since their seven consecutive home victories between September 2017 and October 2018.
Spain recently defeated Scotland, a 2-0 win in Seville, continuing their remarkable unbeaten home qualifying streak of 49 matches, which goes back to June 2006. However, they need a victory against Norway to guarantee a top-two finish in Group A and secure a place in the Euro 2024 in Germany. Although Spain has had some struggles in their recent Euro qualifiers away from home, including a 1-1 draw in Norway in October 2019, they are determined to claim victory on Sunday and surpass Scotland at the top of Group A.
Norway’s probable starting lineup: Nyland, Ryerson, Ajer, Ostigard, Meling, Odegaard, Berge, Aursnes, Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa
Spain’s probable starting lineup: Simon, Navas, Le Normand, Laporte, Garcia, Merino, Rodri, Gavi, Torres, Morata, Zaragoza
