Scotland vs Norway Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2023

Scotland will host Norway at Hampden Park on Sunday in another round of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers.

The home side have enjoyed a memorable European qualification campaign and are set to make their first appearance in the final tournament since 1996. They played out a 2-2 draw against Georgia in their last game, falling behind twice and coming back to draw level on both occasions via second-half goals from Scott McTominay and Lawrence Shankland.

Scotland sit second in Group A with 16 points from seven games. They will be looking to wrap up their international break on a high in front of their home fans.

Norway, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the qualifiers and are hoping for a playoff spot with automatic qualification now out of sight. They were in action on Thursday, hosting the Faroe Islands at the Ullevaal Stadion and winning 2-0 via goals from Oscar Bobb and Jorgen Strand Larsen, with the former recording his maiden international strike.

The visitors sit third in the table with 10 points and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
