Norway and Georgia are set to clash in a huge game over in Group A where both sides are looking to get their winning form back together in the final few games of the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Norway are in the win column right now, but after four games in the qualifiers, they sit with only one win after a 3-1 victory against Cyprus back in June.
Erling Haaland, as per usual, was the hero that day for his nation, as he scored two second half goals after a first half finish from Ola Solbakken in a 3-1 home win.
Over the past week, Norway were not in Group A action with them up to speed on their games played, as the likes of Spain had an extra game to play.
They met with Jordan in a friendly instead at the Ullevaal Stadion where 13 shots on target occurred from 19 efforts.
Stars like Haaland were rested that day, although other Premier League names like Martin Odegaard and Sander Berge played in midfield, as Antonio Nusa, Kristoffer Ajer, Jorden Strand Larsen and Fredrik Andre Bjorkan all scored first half goals.
Bard Finne and Hugo Vetlesen added goals in the second 45 of a 6-0 win.
Elsewhere in Group A, Norway fell to a 2-1 loss at home to the rampant Scotland, who sit top of the table with five wins from five games now.
Haaland did bag the opener again that day from the penalty spot, but two goals in two minutes during the dying embers of the match handed the Scots all three points.
Haaland and co. also lost 3-0 to Spain back in the opening game of Group A, but they did draw with Georgia in the reverse fixture of this group campaign - Alexander Sorloth bagged for Norway before a finish from Georges Mikautadze.
As a result of these performances, Norway are sitting third and two points behind the second qualifying spot where Spain sit with a game in hand.
Ultimately, it seems as if the likes of superstars like Haaland are once again staring in the face of another major tournament loss.
As for Georgia, they were dealt one of their biggest-ever losses in a European qualifying campaign, as Spain smashed the nation 7-1 at home.
Giorgi Chakvetadze scored that day, but by this point, Spain were already 4-0 up inside the first half.
Georgia now sit with just one win and two losses and the exact same points as Norway but with a huge goals difference inferiority after that home battering from the three-time European champions.
Forebet predicts a draw here and over 2.5 goals.
