Match Preview: Austria vs Norway
The "Das Team" took part in the Euros this summer, leaving behind mixed impressions. On one hand, they beat Poland and even the Netherlands in the group stage, advancing to the knockout rounds. However, they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Turkey. Meanwhile, the "Drills" (Norway) failed to qualify for Euro 2024, having been defeated by Spain and Scotland in the qualifiers in 2023.
Norway’s Nations League campaign also started poorly, with a goalless draw in Almaty against Kazakhstan. However, they followed that with a home victory over Austria, thanks to a late goal from Haaland, who secured a 1-0 win. Austria had previously managed a draw against Slovenia. Ralf Rangnick's team bounced back with a 4-0 demolition of Kazakhstan. Norway, led by Haaland and Sørloth, opened their October fixtures with a dominant 3-0 win over Slovenia.
Norway will be without key players such as Ødegaard, who was injured in their previous match, as well as long-term absentee Bobb. Meling, Daland, and Sævold are also unavailable. For Austria, David Alaba remains sidelined, while Onisiwo has retired from international duty.
