Norway vs Austria Prediction - UEFA Nations League Picks 9/9/24

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Norway and Austria. 

Norway Betting Preview

Norway in the first game of the Nations League faced off against Kazakhstan and they played to a 0-0 draw. Norway had 71 percent of the possession and two shots on target but it wasn’t enough. In this game Norway is going to need to get out to a fast start with the offense. Even though they didn’t score a goal, Norway is expected to use a similar lineup here. If a change does happen here for Norway it would probably be Sander Berge that moves into the starting lineup and Patrick Berg is going to move back to the bench. In this game, Norway needs to get the offense better. 

Austria Betting Preview

Austria in the first game of the Nations League faced off against Slovenia and they played to a 1-1 draw. The defense gave up a goal in the 16th minute and they looked to be in trouble. Konrad Laimer did answer in the 28th minute and that led to the victory. Austria had 63 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Philipp Lienhart was a starter at the Euro’s but he’s not even on the team. Kevin Danso and Michael Gregoritsch are both injured and not having both guys is a big loss for this team. In this game, Austria needs the defense to be strong early. 

Norway vs Austria Prediction

Norway just doesn’t have the offensive firepower. The defense can do whatever it wants, it doesn’t matter because the offense isn’t going to get anything going. I do expect Norway’s defense is going to step up and Austria is going to have no answer. Look for Norway and Austria to fail to get on the board and this game is going to end up staying under the total. Back the under to cash.
