Norway and Luxembourg take on each other at Estadio La Rosaleda in a friendly international. Since Norway missed out on a place at EURO 2021, they will use June friendlies to prepare in the best way possible for the World Cup qualifiers. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Borussia Dortmund attacker Erling Haland, who won the Bundesliga Player of the Year award for the 2020/21 season.
Luxembourg, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, with the team beating Republic of Ireland on the road. Luc Holtz’ troops aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Portugal, but they will have a big fish to fry in Wednesday’s friendly as Norway are eager to get back on course. You should bear in mind that Norway defeated Luxembourg in each of their previous six meetings in all competitions.
Netherlands and Scotland take on each other at Estadio Algarve in a pre-EURO friendly. The Oranje have big ambitions for the upcoming showpiece tournament, but football experts believe that injured defender Virgil van Dijk is going to be sorely missed. Feyenoord attacker Steven Berghuis has overcome his injury, while PSV striker Donyell Malen is pushing for a start. The Scotts, on the other hand, aim to build on a routine 4-0 win over Faroe Islands in the WC qualifiers.
Scott McTominay is undisputedly the team’s key player, but eyes will be on Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson as well. Anyhow, Netherlands are more of a team than Scotland, and seeing that the Orange defeated Steve Clarke’s troops in each of the previous four meetings between the two national teams, home win should be considered. When the two teams met in a friendly in Aberdeen four years ago Netherlands defeated Scotland thanks to Memphis Depay’s goal.
