Norway is among the top contenders for the UEFA Nations League title, buoyed by a winning streak of seven games, including a victory over a major rival recently. In contrast, Slovenia has struggled in their recent Nations League outings, with four losses in their last five away matches.
Despite their strong overall performance, Norwayโs home record has been mixed, with three wins, four draws, and three losses in their last ten home games in the Nations League. Nevertheless, these matches have typically featured fewer than 3.5 goals. Similarly, Sloveniaโs recent away matches have also tended to be low-scoring, with three or fewer goals scored in nine of their last ten games.
Scoring hasnโt been a major issue for Slovenia during their away games, with the team finding the net 17 times in their last 18 trips. Considering that Norway has also scored in each of their last ten home matches in the Nations League, itโs unlikely that either team will keep a clean sheet in their upcoming clash.

Prediction
Considering both Norwayโs and Sloveniaโs recent form and scoring patterns, goals seem expected but not in abundance. Both sides have shown a tendency for games with under 3.5 goals, with Norwayโs last five home games and 19 of Sloveniaโs last 20 away games featuring three goals or fewer. Therefore, a draw could be a plausible outcome.
Prediction: Norway 1, Slovenia 1
