Spain-Norway, the probable formations

Prominent among Saturday’s matches on the first day of qualifying for the upcoming European Championship 2024 is Spain-Norway. Kickoff at 20:45 at the Santiago Bernabeu. On the one hand, the hosts seek redemption after the premature exit in the round of 16 in the World Cup in Qatar, on the other hand, the guests want to surprise to start the round well, with the goal of achieving access to the final stage of the competition that has been missing since 2000.

Leading the Red Furies’ attack will be Morata with Nico Williams and Oyarzabal completing the trident. Median composed of Gavi, Ceballos and one of Fabian Ruiz and Rodri. The latter could also be employed in the center of defense alongside Laporte.

Solbakken will have to do without star Haaland. On the offensive side there will be room for Sorloth with Odegaard and Aursunes on the flanks. In front of Nyland will be Ostigard and Ajer with Ryerson and Bjorkan on the side lanes.
