Norway vs Kazakhstan: Haaland to Keep Scoring for Norway
Match Preview
Group C4 of the Nations League serves up a treat on Saturday, June 11th, as Norway host Kazakhstan at the Ullevaal Stadion. Norway, coming off a 1-1 draw with Slovenia, will be looking to get back to winning ways and keep pace with leaders Serbia. Kazakhstan, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win of the tournament, having lost both their opening games.
Norway will be without their talismanic striker Erling Haaland after he picked up a knock in training. However, they will still have plenty of attacking talent on show. Mohamed Elyounoussi and Alexander Sorloth will be looking to make their mark, while captain Martin Odegaard will be key to unlocking the Kazakhstan defense.
Team News
Norway: Haaland has been ruled out with a knock. Kazakhstan: No fresh injury concerns have been reported.
Predictions
Norway should be too strong for Kazakhstan in this one. The hosts have a far superior squad on paper and will be playing in front of their home fans. Haaland may be absent but they still have plenty of firepower in their ranks. Kazakhstan, on the other hand, have struggled so far in the Nations League and are unlikely to provide much of a threat. A comfortable win for Norway is on the cards.
