Norway prepare to avenge Croatia

2015-09-05 11:02:00 from:SNTV

SuggestedLeadIn: Norway were looking to make amends for 5-1 thrashing last time out as they prepare to host Croatia in Euro 2016 qualifying Group H on Sunday (September 6).

Script: Norway will seek revenge following a heavy defeat in Zagreb, as they take on Croatia for a second time in Euro 2016 qualifying Group H.

Croatia won 5-1 on home soil in March when the sides met for the first time in a competitive international.

For Norway, a win in Oslo on Sunday would put them into the automatic qualifying spots.

Croatia are at the top of Group H and level on 15 points with Italy.

But pending an appeal, they are likely to drop a point for fan trouble.

Norway are third in the table with 13 points from seven games.

They have won only one of their last five competitive home matches, whereas Crotatia have lost just one of their last ten qualifying away fixtures.

The top two finishers from the nine groups qualify automatically for next year's tournament in France.

The best third-placed team also qualifies automatically, and eight more teams can qualify through a play-off.
