UEFA Euro 2024 will take place next summer and the road to qualifying for that tournament continues this week with the latest international break. As clubs across the continent hit the pause button on their domestic leagues, plenty of countries will be hoping to edge closer to the finals. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun encounter between Ireland and Greece.
Norway Form GuideNorway have an astonishing amount of raw talent within their squad but for whatever reason, they haven’t quite been able to put it all together - with the hope being that it’ll come sooner rather than later. The Euros should be seen as a major target for them but either way, they have the potential to make some noise in the years ahead, and they need to take that opportunity.
After losses against Spain and Scotland, with a draw against Georgia fixed in the middle, the Norwegians have put together three strong wins over Cyprus, Jordan and Georgia to leave some believing that they’re still in with a shot in what is an ultra competitive group.
Spain Form GuideRegardless of what their situation may be at any given moment, Spain should always be seen as a nation that is well and truly in the fight. They had their big run between 2008 and 2012 but now, they’ve got a brand new golden generation coming through. At this stage, it’s just a case of figuring out how they can maximise that, and whether or not they’ve got what it takes to win another major trophy.
Following on from a dominant 3-0 win over Norway, the Spanish fell to a surprising and disappointing 2-0 loss courtesy of Scotland. After that they beat Italy and Croaita to win the Nations League, before rattling off dominant wins over Georgia and Cyprus by a combined score of 13-1.
Match PredictionThere are a lot of highlight reel players that will be on the pitch here and we’re excited to see how the two styles blend together in this game. Norway are a bit more chaotic but their opponents tend to take their time and rarely get overwhelmed, which is why we’re shooting for a Spain win.
