Norway coach Ståle Solbakken has switched to two positions compared to the 1-1 draw against Georgia: BVB player Julian Ryerson replaces Marcus Pedersen at the back right, Erling Haaland is allowed to attack in accordance with his position after his failure for Mohamed Elyounoussi. Scotland coach Steve Clarke appears to have found his starting line-up after beating Spain 2-0, bringing on Jack Hendry for Grant Hanley in central defence.

After an unchallenged 3-0 win against Cyprus, Scotland created a minor sensation at the end of May: thanks to a brace from Man United midfielder Scott McTominay, the Scots defeated Spain 2-0 and went top of their World Cup qualifying group. The Scots midfielder has already scored four times in two games and is responsible for 80 per cent of goals. This means that Scotland does not have a bad chance of qualifying for the European Championship again after 2021.

Norway couldn’t really impress in the opening games of the European Championship qualifiers: First the Scandinavians lost 3-0 against Spain after a fighting performance, then they only managed a 1-1 draw against Georgia. Both games took place at the end of March and without top star Erling Haaland, on whom the Norwegians are pinning their hopes today. He should ensure that Norway can participate in a European Championship for the first time since 2000.

The two national teams have already met eleven times: Scotland won six games and Norway only two. Also in the current EURO qualifying group, Scotland are in first place after two wins, while Norway are fourth with just one point from two games. Nevertheless, Scotland is not the clear favorite in the game: Norway has two absolute world-class players in their own ranks in attacker Erling Haaland and midfielder Martin Ødegaard.
