Slovenia vs. Norway - prediction, team news, lineups

Slovenia

Slovenia will be looking to continue their impressive start to the UEFA Nations League when they host Norway on Sunday. Matjaz Kek's side have won their opening two matches in Group B4, and a victory over Norway would put them in a strong position to qualify for the finals.

Kek is expected to make few changes to the team that beat Sweden 2-0 on Tuesday. Jan Oblak will start in goal, with a back four of Josip Ilicic, Miha Blazic, Bostjan Cesar and Aljaz Struna. Kevin Kampl and Rene Krhin will play in central midfield, with Josip Ilicic and Roman Bezjak on the wings.

Robert Beric will lead the line for Slovenia. The striker has scored three goals in his last two matches for the national team, and he will be looking to add to his tally against Norway.

Norway

Norway will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Bulgaria on Tuesday. Lars Lagerback's side were beaten 1-0 in Sofia, and they will need to improve their performance if they want to get anything from the match against Slovenia.

Lagerback is likely to make several changes to the team that started against Bulgaria. Rune Jarstein will replace Orjan Nyland in goal, and there could also be changes in defence and midfield.

Joshua King is likely to start up front for Norway. The Bournemouth striker has scored three goals in his last four matches for the national team, and he will be looking to add to his tally against Slovenia.

Prediction

Slovenia are the favourites to win this match. They have a strong team, and they are in good form. Norway will need to improve their performance if they want to get anything from the match, but they are capable of causing an upset.

Prediction: Slovenia 2-1 Norway
