The UEFA Nations League features another Scandinavian derby this weekend as Norway take on Sweden on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove in this match.
Norway vs Sweden Preview
Sweden are currently in third place in Group 4 and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Serbia last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Norway, on the other hand, are at the top of their group at the moment and have been exceptional so far. The Norwegians were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Slovenia in their previous game and will need to be more clinical this weekend.

Norway vs Sweden Prediction
Norway have been an incredibly resurgent force over the past year and have managed to produce a new generation of talent. The likes of Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard have already stepped into their roles as the leaders of a young Norwegian outfit and will need to shoulder the goalscoring burden in this fixture.
Sweden have excellent players in their ranks but have managed to score only one goal in their last two matches. Norway are the better team at the moment and we expect them to be able to win this game.
