Norway vs Scotland Prediction: Expect a solid win for the Norwegians

Prediction for the match between Norway and Scotland, which will take place on June 17. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Norway is a rare guest at major international tournaments. The Vikings have only made it to the European finals once, playing at Euro 2000. The Red and Blue have now raised a bright young generation, including Erling Haaland, Alexander Sorlothand, Martin Odegaard, but even with these youngsters, the Norwegians are struggling to qualify. Their qualification for Euro 2024 got off to a poor start as they suffered a heavy 0:3 defeat at the hands of the Spaniards in the opening round before losing the points to Georgia in a 1:1 draw, making their lives even more difficult.

The Scotland national side has only played in the final part of the 21st century in one major international tournament - Euro 2020, where they were left out in the group stage. In the opening game, the team handled the Cypriots 3:0. They decided not to stop there, creating a real sensation in the second roun, when they beat the Spaniards 2:0 in their native walls. Midfielder Scott McTominay netted four of the national side's five goals.

After the draw of the qualifying tournament for Euro 2024 the teams were considered direct competitors in the fight for a second ticket to Germany, as the first should go to the Spaniards. Nevertheless, the team is leading the table with two straight wins, while the Vikings have been trailing at the start of the qualifiers, picking up just one point from two games. Nevertheless, the Scots have won both times in the home-town area, where they are traditionally good, and now they will have to play on the road, where the Red and Blue have to give them a heated reception and get three points.

The main advantage of the Norwegian team is a powerful attacking group featuring key players from Europe's top clubs. Martin Edegaard is the captain of the vice-champion of England, Erling Haaland is the top scorer in the current Champions League and EPL, and Alexander Sorloth has had a successful season in the Spanish Primera.
