Norway haven't qualified for the final stages of the European Championships since 2000 and have made a slow start to their 2020 campaign. It's a tough group with Spain at the top so realistically there's only one qualifying place to fight for. Norway are already three points behind second-placed Sweden after the first two group matches and with the Swedes home to Malta this week, Norway will most likely need to win this match to prevent that gap widening even further. So far in this group, Norway have lost 2-1 away to Spain and then were held to a 3-3 home draw by Sweden. They led 2-0 in that game with half an hour remaining but eventually needed a 97th minute equalizer to grab a point. That draw ended a run of seven straight home wins for the Norwegians and only one of their last six home European Championship qualifiers has been lost. 

Romania are third in the group and only a point behind the Swedes. Their campaign began with a 2-1 loss in Sweden but they got back on track with a 4-1 home win over the Faroe Islands. They now face away games in Norway and Malta before hosting group leaders Spain in early September. They have only lost one of their last 12 internationals but finished second in their UEFA Nations League group earlier this season. Romania had gone five away games without defeat before losing in Sweden. The suggested bet here is a double chance wager on Romania to get a win or draw from this fixture.
