Slovenia vs. Norway: Preview, Team News, Lineups
Preview
Slovenia and Norway will face off in a crucial UEFA Nations League Group B4 match on Saturday, June 4th. Both teams are level on points after two matches, so this game could have a significant impact on the group standings.
Slovenia has made a solid start to the Nations League, drawing their opening match against Serbia and then beating Sweden 2-0 in their second match. Norway, meanwhile, lost their first match against Sweden but bounced back with a 2-1 win over Serbia.
This match is likely to be a close and competitive affair. Slovenia has a slight edge in terms of recent form, but Norway has a more experienced and talented squad.

Slovenia will be without the suspended Miha Mevlja, while Norway will be missing the injured Erling Haaland.
Slovenia's predicted lineup: Oblak; Stojanovic, Mevlja, Bijol, Krizan; Kurtic, Lovric, Zajc; Sesko, Sporar, Stevanovic.
Norway's predicted lineup: Nyland; Ryerson, Strandberg, Ostigard, Meling; Odegaard, Berge, Elyounoussi; Sorloth, King, Thorsby.

This is a difficult match to predict, but I think Slovenia will edge it. They have been in good form recently, and they have a slight edge in terms of experience.
