Austria - Norway Prediction, Picks and Tips

On Wednesday evening, Austria and Norway will compete against each other in the Nations League. The visitors from Scandinavia cannot play with their strongest team due to corona problems.

Austria is the leader in this group of the Nations League. On Sunday, the team of national coach Franco Foda won for the fourth time in five group matches, but it did not go by itself for the Austrians, in their home game against Northern Ireland. Das Team had a hard time with the British, and when they fell behind with fifteen minutes to play, loss of points seemed imminent. Two late hits - from substitutes Louis Schaub and Adrian Grbic - prevented that. So now the confrontation with Norway awaits, which has had to leave a mountain of players at home due to quarantine rules. Foda and his team are therefore not sure what to expect from their opponent on Wednesday. "We've been dealing with their trainer, from the under-21 squad," said Foda. "We have a good team of analysts, and we also looked at their under-21 players."

We have already seen some remarkable situations in football in recent months, by positive Covid-19 test. Many teams have already been forced to keep players aside, but the problems are very serious for the national team of Norway. The entire selection is ordered to be quarantined after a positive test. The previous game in the Nations League - away against Romania - was canceled, but it should be played on Wednesday. The Norwegian Football Association has therefore had to improvise for Wednesday's game in Vienna. The selection that is now there mainly contains youth internationals. Hakon Evjen (AZ Alkmaar) and Jørgen Strand Larsen (FC Groningen), for example, are part of the selection. Leif Gunnar Smerud has been appointed coach for Wednesday's international match. He is normally the man in charge with the Norwegians under-21 squad.
