Norway internationals delivered a mix of wins, goals, and defeats in this weekend's European club rounds ahead of the key home qualifier against Wales. Between 30 October and 3 November, it was Antonio Nusa and Thelo Aasgaard who found the net, while Erling Haaland and David Wolfe suffered setbacks. The team heads into the fixture on Saturday 14 November following a difficult spell of three consecutive losses, including a 2-1 defeat to Portugal on 4 October.
The young attacker converted a penalty and provided an assist in a match he played from start to finish.
In the Premier League, several Norwegians were in action. Martin Ødegaard was substituted after 88 minutes as Arsenal secured an important 1-0 win over Liverpool. The only Norwegian on the losing side in England's top flight was Erling Haaland, who played the full match in Manchester City's 0-1 defeat to Brighton.
Bundesliga Update
Julian Ryerson came on for a few minutes in Borussia Dortmund's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich.
The team's recent results, however, have been disappointing with three consecutive losses, including a 2-1 defeat to Portugal last month. Their last four results show one win and three defeats, having beaten Denmark 3-2 on 24 September before losing 1-2 to Portugal, 1-2 to Wales, and 1-2 to Portugal again. A chance for redemption awaits when Wales visit on 14 November. That match is key to reverse a recent trend of one win and three defeats in the last four outings.
The next fixture is an opportunity to build on the positive individual performances from the weekend and secure three vital points at home.
