Austria VS Norway

Austria and Norway horns in this UEFA Nations League League B round 4 battle at Raiffeisen Arena in Linz very early Monday morning Beijing time. Football enthusiasts and us serious, profit-hungry bettors can expect a somewhat mediocre clash  by the Nations League League B standards here. Austria are in 22nd place in the FIFA ranking which is more or less correct in my expert opinion. Norway are in 47th place in the FIFA Ranking which is a little too low though – with the best possible lineups, taking the substitutes into account. Let's not forget that Norway were not even close to qualifying for the EURO 2024!Indeed, they finished in 3rd place in Qualification Group A with only 11 points in their pocket. Slovenia, on the other hand, even qualified for the Playoffs in the EURO 2024 Yes, on paper Norway do look quite strong. They have players like Manchester City's Erling Haaland, one of the most effective strikers on the planet – when playing for his club  - at least . For some reason his level drops quite a lot when playing for his country, despite looking motivated to do so. Yes, he did score two goals in Norway's last match, on Thursday local time, though. In this game Norway beat Slovenia 3-0 at home but Austria are a significantly stronger team than Slovenia. Norway did deserve the three points but the final score flatters them a lot! Slovenia, too, had their chances, recording 11 goal attempts. The xG numbers were 2.15-0.91 in the hosts' favour. Norway were priced around 1.65 to win the game by the bookmakers. It seems that the betting market has overreacted to this win.. Indeed, odds of around 2.05 on the Austria win are widely available on the betting market. Their chance of taking all three points is 54.50%!

Norway also have Odegaard, an excellent midfielder and one of the most important players in Arsenal, in the English Premier League. However, he is out because of an injury here.. This hurts Norway's offense probably even more than the bookies realize..  Norway simply do not play very well as a team. Austria look only slightly better on paper than Norway but have a quite unique style of play, (intense) counter pressing. Indeed, they have an excellent head coach in German Ralf Rangnick who is the "father" of this style of play in modern football. Austria also qualified for the Playoffs in EURO 2024 last summer but lost to Turkey - despite generating more in expected goals close to 3.00! In the Group stage they even beat the Netherlands 3-2 after a terrific performance as clear underdogs, priced around 5.00 to win. They also swept past Poland 3-1 and lost to one of the best teams in the world, 0-1 after a pretty good performance.. In the Nations League opening round Austria played 1-1 draw at Stadion Stožice in Ljubljana. Austria had one more goal attempt. I want to highlight that Austria completely dominated Kazakhstan 4-0 at home on Thursday! They recorded a whopping 29 goal attempts! The xG numbers were 3.31-0.13. In round 2 Norway defeated Austria 2-1 at home, priced around 2.20 to win by the bookies. However, Austria had 55% ball possession and recorded more goal attempts, shots off target, total passes, completed passes, attacks and dangerous attacks. Norway had one more shot on target.. The xG numbers were 1.02-0.93 in Austria's favour. Before this Norway failed to defeat Kazakhstan on the road as very big favourites on the betting market. It was a goalless draw. Yes, Norway were the better team on the pitch but lacked offensive speed and creativity.. On the 8th of June Norway lost 1-3 in Denmark after a quite poor performance. On the 26th of March, before beating Kosovo, Norway were priced around 1.30 to defeat Slovakia at home but were, once again, disappointing! It was a 1-1 draw. The xG numbers were surprisingly balanced – 2.34-1.94.

奥地利VS挪威

北京时间周一凌晨，奥地利和挪威队将在林茨的赖夫森竞技场展开欧足联B级联赛第四轮比赛。足球爱好者和我们这些认真的、追求利润的投注者可以期待一场按照国家联赛B级标准进行的有点平庸的比赛。奥地利在国际足联排名中排名第22位，这在我的专业意见中或多或少是正确的。挪威在国际足联的排名中排名第47位，虽然有点太低了，但考虑到替补球员，他们的阵容可能是最好的。别忘了，挪威离2024年欧洲杯的参赛资格还差得远呢！事实上，他们仅以11分的成绩排在资格赛A组的第三名。另一方面，斯洛文尼亚甚至有资格进入2024年欧洲杯的季后赛。是的，纸面上挪威队看起来确实很强大。他们拥有像曼城的哈兰德这样的球员，他是这个星球上最有效的前锋之一——至少在为他的俱乐部效力时是这样。由于某些原因，当他为国家队效力时，他的水平下降了很多，尽管他看起来很有动力这样做。是的，在挪威当地时间周四的最后一场比赛中，他确实进了两球。在这场比赛中，挪威在主场3-0击败了斯洛文尼亚，但奥地利比斯洛文尼亚强得多。挪威队确实应该得到三分，但最后的比分让他们感到非常荣幸！斯洛文尼亚也有机会，他们有11次射门。对东道主有利的xG值为2.15-0.91。博彩公司给挪威队开出了1.65英镑的胜率。看来博彩市场对这场胜利反应过度了。事实上，在博彩市场上，奥地利获胜的赔率约为2.05。他们拿到全部三分的几率是54.50%！

挪威队在英超联赛中也有奥德加德，他是一名出色的中场球员，也是阿森纳最重要的球员之一。然而，他因为伤病缺席了。这对挪威队进攻的伤害可能比博彩公司意识到的还要大。挪威队作为一个整体踢得不太好。奥地利在纸面上看起来只比挪威好一点点，但他们有非常独特的打法，（激烈的）反压。事实上，他们有一位出色的主教练，德国人拉尔夫·朗尼克，他是现代足球中这种风格的“父亲”。去年夏天，奥地利也进入了2024年欧洲杯的季后赛，但输给了土耳其——尽管他们的预期进球数接近3.00！在小组赛中，他们甚至以3-2击败了荷兰队，尽管他们显然处于劣势，但他们的胜率在5.00左右。他们也以3-1横扫波兰队，但却以0-1输给了世界上最好的球队之一。在国家联赛的首轮比赛中，奥地利在卢布尔雅那Stožice体育场1-1战平。奥地利还有一次射门机会。我想强调的是，奥地利周四在主场以4比0完全击败了哈萨克斯坦！他们一共出手了29次！xG值为3.31 ~ 0.13。在第二轮比赛中，挪威队在主场2-1击败了奥地利队，博彩公司开出的赔率在2.20英镑左右。然而，奥地利拥有55%的控球率，并且记录了更多的射门次数、射偏次数、总传球次数、完成传球次数、进攻次数和危险进攻次数。挪威队又一次射正了球门。xG值为1.02-0.93，对奥地利有利。在此之前，挪威队未能在客场击败哈萨克斯坦队，这是博彩市场上的大热门。这是一场0比0的平局。是的，挪威队在球场上表现更好，但缺乏进攻速度和创造力。6月8日，挪威在一场糟糕的比赛中以1-3输给了丹麦。3月26日，在击败科索沃之前，挪威队主场击败斯洛伐克队的价格在1.30左右，但是，再一次令人失望！双方1比1战平。xG值出奇地平衡——2.34-1.94。
