Austria v Norway Bet Builder Tips
Two nations with some outstanding talents go to battle in Nations League B. Austria are looking to return to the top tier of the competition whilst Norway have never competed at Nations League A level.
With Erling Haaland having just become Norway’s all-time top scorer at the age of 24, it will be up to Austria to find a way to stop the Manchester City striker extending his record here.
⭐ Austria v Norway Best Bets
Norway won a tight match between the two in the reverse fixture in September, indeed, both teams ended the match level on xG and only 15 shots were taken in total during the match,
However, both teams have a good recent history of goalscoring, and Austria are a very intense team, regularly conceding a lot of fouls, which is a market to look out for when prices are available.
A score draw is a big runner in this match, given the closeness of the first encounter and the danger in both attacks. Both Teams To Score – Yes is a best bet at 1.6, but a more speculative wager on the correct score of 1-1 could be worth a wager at 5.5.
Phillipp Mwene is a good bet at 5.5 for a yellow card, especially up against Antonio Nusa, who drew three fouls against Slovenia.
🔍 Austria v Norway Players to Watch
🔴 Marcel Sabitzer
The former Man Utd midfielder has hit exactly four shots in each of Austria’s Nations League matches this season.
Whilst this match could be tighter than last time out vs Kazakhstan, Sabitzer still managed four of the nine shots total that Austria hit against Norway in the away match. Five of the twelve shots have been on target as well.
🔴 Phillip Mwene
Mwene missed the Kazakhstan match through suspension after picking up two yellow cards in the September Nations League internationals.
He committed eight fouls in 147 minutes, which is 4.9 fouls per 90 in those September internationals, including three in 57 minutes. If selected Mwene is an interesting candidate in the fouls markets.

💻 Austria v Norway Form and Tactics
Austria lost away to Norway in September in a very close match, but come into this home clash after a confidence boosting 4-0 win at home to Kazakhstan. They totally dominated the match, winning the xG battle 3.06 xG to 0.14, and they continued their fine scoring form.
Austria have scored in 23 of their last 24 internationals, only France have kept them out. Five of Austria’s last six matches, seven of their last ten have gone over 2.5 goals, and eight of their last ten have seen BTTS land.
Norway didn’t compete at Euro 2024 having failed to qualify. A draw in Kazakhstan to kick off the Nations League campaign, has been followed by two home wins. Norway haven’t won away from home since a qualifier in Cyprus, and they haven’t beaten a top 50 FIFA ranked country away since beating Sweden in 2022.
Goals have generally been a large feature of recent Norway matches. Norway have scored in 12 of their last 14 matches, and Erling Haaland has 13 goals in his 12 appearances for the national team this calendar year..
