Norway

Tuesday, 17 November 202619:45 UTC

Denmark vs Norway preview: Denmark arrive with alternating wins and losses over their last five outings, while Norway have managed just one victory in the same span and sit significantly adrift on points. The two sides meet for the second time this year, having split their recent meetings — a dynamic that adds intrigue to this League A encounter.

Key Factors

UEFA Nations League League A Context

This fixture takes place in the sixth round of UEFA Nations League League A, the top tier of the competition. The Nations League provides a structured international calendar for the continent's strongest national teams, with promotion and relegation between divisions based on group performance. Denmark and Norway compete in the same group, making this a direct contest in the battle for group positioning.

Recent Form Comparison

Denmark have collected 9 points from their last five matches, recording three wins and two losses with no draws. They have scored 9 goals and conceded 8 over this run, reflecting a competitive but inconsistent run of form — alternating between victory and defeat. Norway's recent record is markedly weaker: one win and four losses from five matches, yielding only 3 points. They have scored 7 goals but conceded 10, indicating defensive vulnerability. The gap in points (9 vs 3) and the pattern of results underscore a substantial difference in current momentum between the two sides.

Head-to-Head Record

Denmark and Norway have met twice recently. Most recently, on 24 September 2026, Norway won 3-2 at home against Denmark in a UEFA Nations League fixture. Earlier this year, on 8 June 2024, Denmark won 3-1 at home against Norway in a friendly. The record is split evenly at one win apiece, though the sample size is small. Norway's home victory came in this competition just weeks ago, suggesting they possess the ability to trouble Denmark, yet Denmark's friendly win shows they too can dominate when the occasion allows.

Match Outlook

Denmark's recent form — three wins in five matches — provides them with a platform at home, and their points tally of 9 sits well clear of Norway's 3. However, the alternating pattern of wins and losses indicates inconsistency that could be exploited. Norway arrive in poor form, having lost four of their last five, yet their 3-2 victory over Denmark in September is a reminder that they are capable of scoring and competing in this fixture. The head-to-head record is perfectly balanced, which cautions against overweighting Denmark's superior recent points haul. Norway's defensive struggles (10 goals conceded in five matches) may be tested by Denmark's attacking output, but Norway's ability to score — 7 goals in five games — means they are unlikely to be without chances. The contrast between Denmark's mixed but ultimately more fruitful recent run and Norway's sustained struggle sets up a match where the home side may be favored by form and points, yet the visitors' recent head-to-head success and capacity to create chances ensures this remains competitive.
