SlipsTips casts his eye over the Bet Builder market ahead of Thursday's Nations League clash between Norway and Slovenia.
Norway vs Slovenia (Thursday, 19:45)
Norway will be looking to further stamp their authority on Nations League Group B4 when they play host to Slovenia on Thursday night.
Stale Solbakken’s side squeezed out a 1-0 victory against Serbia before beating Nordic neighbours Sweden 2-1 in Stockholm on Sunday.
As for Slovenia, they are yet to get off the mark after suffering back-to-back defeats to both Sweden and Serbia respectively.
Unsurprisingly, Norway are short-priced 2/5 favourites here so it’s therefore a case of getting creative in order to eke out a backable play.
Combining Norway to win and over one Norway goal will bring about a 4/5 (Bet 365) play and that looks like a worthy boost in price.
As already alluded to, Norway have made a strong start to their Nations League campaign and they will fancy their chances of getting the job done here against inferior opposition in Oslo.
The Norwegians have lost just one of their last 11 matches across all competitions, with the in-form Lions claiming top honours on seven of those occasions.
What’s more, the hosts have hit two or more goals in three of their last four outings, not to mention they have a considerable ace up their sleeve in the form of sharpshooter Erling Haaland.
That doesn’t bode well for a Slovenia side who’s only clean sheet across their last seven competitive contests came against international minnows Malta.
It’s also worth pointing out Matjaž Kek’s men have conceded two or more goals in each of their last four meaningful matches that have ended in defeat and I’m more than happy to side with the same combination in the Norwegian capital on Thursday night.
