Austria vs Norway Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The October international break is underway

Norway will take a trip to Austria for their reverse UEFA Nations League fixture against Ralf Ragnick’s men. The Lions will look to continue their dominant form in the championship and maintain their lead at the top of their group. The Lions are undefeated so far and have managed to get a point against every opposition in their group. They come into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 win over Slovenia.

Austria on the other hand will be eyeing revenge for the defeat in September. After a dismal start to their campaign, the boys have finally managed to pick themselves up. They returned to action with a statement 4-0 win over Kazakhstan after a draw and a defeat each in their first two fixtures. Expect them to be on their toes in this game.

Players to watch 

Christoph Baumgartner (⁠Austria)

The 25-year-old midfielder has been the most consistent performer for Austria in the ongoing Nations League campaign. Baumgartner is known for his attacking instincts, positioning and tactical awareness on the pitch. He splits backlines into two halves and creates mouth watering changes for his teammates. The RB Leipzig man has the most goal contributions for Austria with one goal and two assists in three games so far. 

Alexander Sørloth (Norway)

Alexander Sørloth has turned out to be one of the most reliable performers for Norway up front alongside their star striker Elring Haaland. Sørloth is known for his aerial prowess and his ability to make the most out of his height and physical advantage. He compliments Haaland really well in attack and has a goal and two assists to show for his efforts.
