Based on last 50 matches across all tournaments, up to 10/15/2023
To build a prediction for the Norway - Spain match, scheduled for 15 October 2023, several key factors could influence the outcome. These sides last met on 24 March 2023 at Spain's ground, where the home side came out on top.
The home team, Norway, play quite well in attack, scoring around two goals on average and conceding slightly more than one. The away team, Spain, score three goals on average, so I think there will be more than 2.5 goals in this match.
I don't know why, but I have a feeling there won't be three goals here. The teams are very strong, play attacking football, and try to play to protect their lead. Mainly Spain. I can assume that the game will be purely about holding on, and no one will take many risks.
The teams have strong corner-kick statistics. The Norwegians average 5.2 corners per game, and the Spaniards average 5.6 corners per game. I believe that in the 1st half both teams will play attacking football and the total number of corners will be over 4.5.
