2026-2027 Nations League: Norway vs. Denmark, Probable Lineups

Norway and Denmark face off at 8:45 p.m. in a match for the first matchday of Group 4 in League A of the 2026–2027 Nations League. Portugal and Wales are also in the same group. Haaland and his teammates reached the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup, where they were eliminated by England in extra time. The Danes, on the other hand, failed to qualify, falling to the Czech Republic in the playoffs.

Norway will be without Sorloth, who is injured. Up front, Haaland will start alongside Bobb and Nusa. Odegaard, Berge, and Berg will form the midfield, while Ryerson and Wolfe will play on the wings.

Denmark is likely to field a front three of Isaksen, Højlund, and Dorgu. Hojbjerg, Hjulmand, and Froholdt make up the midfield, with Bah and Maehle as the two fullbacks.

Norway vs. Denmark: Probable Lineups
Norway (4-3-3): Nyland; Ryerson, Ajer, Østigård, Wolfe; Ødegaard, Berge, Berg; Bobb, Haaland, Nusa.
Denmark (4-3-3): Hermansen; Bah, Andersen, Christensen, Mæhle; Højbjerg, Hjulmand, Froholdt; Isaksen, Højlund, Dorgu.

Sparks fly ahead of the Scandinavian derby: Vikings coach Solbakken took a jab at Danish journalists. “It’s sad to see my Danish colleagues dragging themselves into the press room and fawning over the Norwegian team. You’re very humble. You need to toughen up a bit. Denmark has a team made up of players from the five biggest leagues in the world.”
