Sweden is the clear favorite here if history does suggest. They have double the wins over Norway and have a great and well-rounded team that more often than not succeeds in world tournaments. Sweden has a very well-rounded team with star players in almost every position whereas Norway has to rely on Erling Haaland to produce spectacular goals and bits of magical plays!
Sweden could very well thump Norway on their way to the top of the group. Sweden’s start to this season of UEFA Nations League has gone much more favorably than their last outing. They bottomed their group and are willing to avoid the same result this time around.
