Norway returns home after an extensive journey to Central Asia to host Austria in the UEFA Nations League on Monday. The matchup in Oslo sees both teams on equal footing, following draws in their respective opening fixtures of Group B3.
An underwhelming 0-0 stalemate against Kazakhstan did little to alleviate the pressure on Norway manager Stale Solbakken, who has faced criticism for failing to fully utilize his skilled squad.
With Erling Haaland leading the attack alongside Alexander Sorloth, supported by Antonio Nusa and Oscar Bobb (when available), and Martin Ødegaard orchestrating from behind, high expectations are placed on Norway. However, they have yet to deliver on these promises.
Similar to Norway, Austria also managed to secure a point on Friday, though their journey was far less extensive, as they travelled to nearby Slovenia.
Ralf Rangnick's men impressed in the lead-up to Euro 2024, and during the tournament itself, they stunned many by defeating the Netherlands to advance as group winners, finishing ahead of both the Oranje and France.
A loss to Turkey in the knockout round marked only their third defeat in 13 competitive outings, with France and Belgium being the only other teams to defeat Das Team during that impressive stretch.

Team news & squads
Norway team news
Despite the uninspiring display in Almaty, Norway boss Stale Solbakken is expected to maintain his current lineup, as it was already as strong as Norway could deploy. The only likely adjustment could be the inclusion of Fulham's new signing, Sander Berge, who was a substitute on Friday, potentially replacing Patrick Berg of Bodo/Glimt.
Martin Odegaard is set to retain the captain's armband, while Erling Haaland will seek to get back on the scoresheet after being stifled by the Kazakhstan defense.
Haaland's Manchester City teammate, Oscar Bobb, is a notable absentee due to a severe leg injury. However, Solbakken can still rely on AlexandSorloth and Antonio Nusa in attack, with the expectation that they will flank Norway's star player in this match.
Norway possible XI: Nyland; Ryerson, Ostigard, Hanche-Olsen, Wolfe; Myhre, Berge, Odegaard; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa

|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Nyland, Selvik, Dyngeland |
