On March 25, Estadio La Rosaleda (Málaga) will host the match of the first round of the Euro 2024 Qualification, in which Spain will compete with Norway. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Spain

The team ingloriously ended the previous era. There have always been questions and doubts about Luis Enrique. Nevertheless, they always became forgotten because of the final result. Being under the rule of the higher mentioned coach, “La Furia Roja” was able to remind of itself after a protracted decline. The semi-final of the Euro 2020 and reaching the decisive matches of the Olympics and the UEFA Nations League, albeit lost in both cases, prove it. Moreover, the team managed to win one more group in the UEFA Nations League of the previous season, where it overcame Portugal, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.... Still, everything was “ruined” by the World Cup, where, after a 7-0 success in the match with Costa Rica and a draw in the battle against Germany, the Spain national team lost to Japan and were close to miss the play-offs. The 1/8 stage brought a 0-0 draw in the struggle with Morocco and relegation on penalties. It goes without saying that it was not forgiven, and de la Fuente, who had worked with the junior and youth teams of the country for 10 previous years, became the mentor – it is obvious that he knows all the players well. It seems that the coach has called only a couple of debutants, but a dozen and a half of those who went to Qatar are outside the list.

Norway

The team, despite the fact that there are such mega-stars as Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, still cannot justify all expectations. The qualification for the World Cup proves the higher mentioned fact – having pretty good statistics (5 wins and 18 points in 10 matches), not only the Netherlands, but also Turkey, were outperformed. The Ståle Solbakken’s wards, within the framework of the UEFA Nations League, were “blown” away in 2022. The first 4 rounds brought 10 points with a couple of wins over the favourite, Sweden. Nevertheless, having finally lost to both Slovenia and Serbia (a 0-2 score in the home match!), the team gave the first place in the quartet to “the south”!

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Norway shocked everyone with a victory in the battle against Spain at the Euro 2000. Still, 4 following matches brought Spain 10 points.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Spain to be the favourite of the following match. At the same time, it is reasonable to expect a rather bright confrontation – thus, we recommend betting on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.94).
