Spain at Norway 10/12/19 - European Championship - Qualification - Group F Picks & Predictions
Spain have been perfect in the 2020 EURO Cup Qualifiers so far, winning all their matches with good performances. They will now have a tricky task on Saturday, when they will travel to Norway for Matchday 7. Norway have been quite solid so far and could prove to be a hard nut to crack here.
Spain (6-0-0) were tremendous in their home match against the lowly Faroe Islands, with Rodrigo and Alcacer scoring two goals each for a nice 0-4 win. They have now won all six matches, scoring 17 goals so far, conceding three in the process. They are of course sitting at the top of Group F with 18 points and are most likely going to top this group. Five of their six matches so far featured Over 2.5 Goals, but Spain kept just three clean sheets in the process.
Norway (2-1-3) are coming off a 1-1 draw in the Scandinavian derby against Sweden on the road. They were slightly better than their opponents in that match, also taking the lead. But their opponents pulled even in their only shot on target, for the final 1-1. Norway lost by 1-2 in Spain in their first match, but are undefeated ever since (2-0-3). They are sitting 4th in Group F with 9 points, one behind Romania and two behind Sweden. Their first three matches had Over 2.5 Goals, and their last three had Under 2.5 Goals.
Norway stood strong in Spain in the first round, temporarily pulling even but conceding a penalty kick to eventually lose by 1-2. Spain have won each of the last three matches against Norway, while Norway had won by 1-0 back in 2000. The hosts are on track for their seventh win, but Norway will not make it easy for them. I will take the Over 2.5 Goals here, as Norway could threaten here.
