Norway vs. Spain: Favor Erling Haaland To Find the Back of the Net
Norway go head-to-head against Spain on Sunday in what could be for a pivotal match in deciding what nation progresses to Euro 2024 in Germany next year. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and live betting for the Euro Cup qualifiers. Which is the best Euro Cup Qualifiers player prop bet for October 15?
Erling Haaland Scoring Goals for Ffun
It’s a crucial game for third-placed Norway in their seventh game of this UEFA European Championship Qualifying cycle, as anything short of a win will see them fail to make the cut for Euro 2024. Even a first victory over Spain since 2000 may not be enough for Norway, who do at least enter this clash on the back of a fine four-game winning run.
Norway will be buoyed by the home fans and will be looking for star players like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard to lead Stale Solbakken’s side to victory. It could be the Arsenal captain who continues his good form this season and grabs the winner here.
Man City’s striker Erling Haaland has scored six goals across his last four international appearances, including two match openers so for our best soccer prop bet today we will back him to find the back of the net on Sunday against Spain.
Spain Brilliant Going Forward
Spain ensured that they remain the masters of their own destiny as they denied Scotland the chance to qualify early with a 2-0 win in midweek, meaning they can afford to lose here if only they can defeat the lowly Cyprus and Georgia.
Spain will come into this one in a confident mood. Since losing to Scotland early on, Luis de la Fuente’s side has piled on the goals against the weaker nations in the group and will believe that they can come away from Norway with at least a point.
La Roja also have a game in hand on their hosts. So, as long as they can keep Norway from claiming the three points here, they should be in control of their own destiny when it comes to qualifying for Euro 2024.
Luis de la Fuente will also be checking on his players’ fitness after their game against Scotland. But he should still be able to put out an impressive starting line-up. Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal may make up the front three in the absence of Yamine Lamal and Inaki Williams.
Spain Has the Upper Hand on Norway
Norway won their last two qualifier home matches. On the other side, Spain won and lost one apiece of their road trips this season. The defeat recorded by Norway at home and Spain on the road were against the current Group A topper Scotland. Spain are having a five-game unbeaten streak against Norway.
They won four of those five matches. Spain have scored 18 goals and leaked just three in their five matches so far this campaign. Spain failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous six away games in the European Championship Qualifiers.
Norway vs. Spain Betting Lines
High-Scoring Affair expected on Sunday
The visitors enter this clash as favorites being priced at -105 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at 2½.
The pressure is now on and Norway will be desperate to beat Spain for the first time since 2000. It has been over 20 years since the Scandinavians made it to a major international tournament and a win here could really help.
Spain were unbeaten in all their head to head meetings against Norway at this stadium and they should have the weapons to return home with at least one point. Still, it’s risky to bet on the moneyline. Instead, we are backing the overs since we are talking about two teams with amazing attacking firepower.
