Norway vs Slovakia prediction and betting tips on March 26, 2024
One of the many friendly matches scheduled for Tuesday evening will be played in Oslo, Norway, where at the "Ulleval" arena, the Norwegian national team will host Slovakia. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Norway
The Norwegian national team failed in the qualifying campaign for the European Championship. In eight matches of the group stage, the "Vikings" secured three victories, two draws, and suffered three defeats. As a result, they finished six points behind Scotland, who claimed the second spot.
It's worth noting that the third-place finish didn't allow them to participate in the playoffs - Georgia, which performed better in the UEFA Nations League, advances from Group A to the playoffs. In their last match, the Norwegian national team lost at home to the Czech Republic in a friendly with a score of 1-2. Consequently, the "Vikings" have been unable to secure a victory in their last two consecutive matches.
Slovakia
In contrast, the Slovakian national team, unlike their upcoming friendly match opponent, will be playing in Germany this summer. In the 10 matches of the group stage, Slovakia earned 22 points, surpassing Luxembourg by five points, who finished third. However, despite putting up a decent fight against Portugal, the "Slovakian Falcons" couldn't stop Ronaldo and his teammates, losing to them by a margin of eight points.
It's worth mentioning that in their last match, the Slovakian national team suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to the Austrian national team. This defeat in the friendly match halted Francesco Calzone's team's winning streak, which had lasted for three matches. Overall, in their last five away matches, the Slovakian national team secured four victories and suffered one defeat.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The teams have played two friendly matches in their history.
- Norway won both matches with the same scoreline of 2-0.
- Slovakia kept a clean sheet in only two out of their last seven away matches - against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
