The European Championship qualifying tournament will feature a match between Scotland and Norway. The home team has already guaranteed themselves at least second place in the group, but still have a chance of first place, albeit theoretically.
Scotland
The national teams of Scotland and Spain had an equal number of points for a long time, but in the last round of selection the Scots unexpectedly did not beat Georgia on the road and are now two points behind the Spaniards.
Apparently, Scotland will definitely not take first place in the group, because in the final round of qualifying, Spain will play with the Georgians on their home field and will most likely win there.
At the same time, the Scots will face a difficult home test in a match against a strong Norwegian team, which failed the qualifying round and was left out of the European Championship.
Norway
After seven rounds, the team is third in the group and five points behind Scotland.
The Norwegians lost their chances of qualifying from the group after losing to Spain with a score of 0:1. Now, all they can hope for is third place in the group.
Despite the presence of stars in the lineup, Norway failed to surprise and probably upset the fans.
Interesting facts and prediction
In 19 meetings between the national teams, the Scots won ten times compared to three victories from the Norwegians. In the latest version of the FIFA rankings, Scotland ranks 34th and Norway 42nd.
In the first away match, Scotland were stronger, but the result of the return match will be difficult to predict, because both teams are essentially unmotivated.
We can admit that the Norwegians are not inferior to their opponents in anything, which means the match may turn out to be equal. I propose to take a risk and bet on a draw with odds of 3.60.
