Slovenia

In the last round, Matjaz Kek's side overcame Kazakhstan away (1-0). As a result, Slovenia secured their second win in the current Nations League campaign and earned points in 7 of their last 8 matches in this tournament (3 wins, 4 draws). The team now has seven points, the same as their two competitors – Norway and Austria. Two wins in the remaining matches will secure Slovenia the top spot in the group.

• The team has not lost in regular time in their last four home matches in the Nations League (2 wins, 2 draws).
• Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Slovenia's last 6 home matches in the Nations League.
• Slovenia conceded in regular time in 5 of their last 6 home games in this tournament.

Norway

Stale Solbakken's side suffered a 1-5 defeat away to Austria in the last round. This loss marked Norway's heaviest defeat in the history of their participation in the Nations League and ended their three-match unbeaten run in this tournament (2 wins, 1 draw). Norway is battling for the top spot in the group, but not everything depends on them in the remaining two matches, as they trail Austria on head-to-head results.

• The team has not won in regular time in 5 of their last 7 away matches in the Nations League (2 draws, 3 losses).
• The team has not scored more than once in 90 minutes in 6 of their last 7 away games in this tournament.
• The number "1" appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Norway's last 6 away matches in the Nations League.

Slovenia vs. Norway: Match Prediction

At home, Slovenia shows strong performances and rarely allows their opponents to achieve maximum results. In 9 of their last 10 home matches in the Nations League, the team has managed to avoid defeat (4 wins, 5 draws). In this tournament's current edition, Slovenia drew with Austria (1-1) and confidently defeated Kazakhstan (3-0) at home.

Norway, on the other hand, is not confident away from home, with only two wins in their last seven away matches in the Nations League (2 draws, 3 losses). Moreover, the team suffered heavy defeats twice during this period. Additionally, Norway failed to win either of their last two head-to-head encounters in Slovenia in the Nations League (1-2 and 1-1).

I believe Slovenia's successful home performances will continue. My prediction: “Slovenia to win or draw”
