In one of the most thrilling matches of the final round of this Nations League campaign, Norway host Serbia, with the two teams level on ten points and vying for promotion to League A. Erling Haaland might have scored again, but the Norwegians fell to defeat thanks to a goal by another talented striker, Slovenian Benjamin Sesko. It was an abrupt return to reality for Norway, who had won five of their last six games, while this was just their second loss in their last fourteen games. The return to Oslo should be welcomed, as Norway are unbeaten in eight there, keeping clean sheets in five of them. Norway should also be out for revenge after their previous home encounter against the Serbian outfit, which saw them become eliminated from the Euro 2021 tournament thanks to an extra time goal by Milinkovic-Savic.
Serbia’s thrashing of Sweden confirmed their majestic form at the moment. Mitrovic starred once again, scoring a hat-trick to steal the show. Serbia are now level on points with Norway and a win with more than a goal’s difference will give them promotion to League A. The Serbians have been in great form of late, winning eight of their last eleven games. They have also been extremely tough to beat away from home, with just two defeats in their last fourteen outings painting the picture. Surprisingly, there two teams have only met twice before, with each team getting a win to their name.
