Can they stop Haaland? Here are the starting lineups for Spain and Norway

This Sunday the Spanish National Team will play their sixth match in Group A of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. So far they are in second place in the standings with 12 points, 3 less than the leaders Scotland, but also with a game in hand. And below them are Norway with 10 points.

That is why the result of this afternoon will be very important for the future of group A. The Scots will have an off day and, if Spain wins, they will overtake them in the standings. But if it is the Norwegians who win at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, they will all be very evenly matched and qualification will be defined in the international break in November.

For this match, Spanish coach Luis De La Fuente will have to pay special attention to Erling Haaland. The Manchester City forward is Norway's big star and it will be a big challenge for center-backs Robin Le Normand and Aymeric Laporte to do their best to neutralize him.

Spain's lineup will be: Unai Simon; Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Fran Garcia; Gavi, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz; Ferran Torres, Alvaro Morata, Ansu Fati. In addition, the substitutes will be Kepa Arrizabalaga, David Raya, Jesus Navas, David Garcia, Pau Torres, Alfonso Pedraza, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Oyarzabal, Oihan Sancet, Joselu, Mikel Merino and Bryan Zaragoza.

They need to win

For Norway it will be one of the most important matches in recent years. They know that if they lose against Spain, they will be 5 points away from qualification with only 3 to play for, as they will have an off date in the international break in November. That is why they have no alternative and will have to do their best to win. Coach Stale Solbakken chose this starting lineup: Nyland; Julian Ryerson, Stefan Strandberg, Leo Skiri Oestigaard, Birger Meling, Patrick Berg, Sander Berge, Fredrik Aursnes, Martin Odegaard, Oscar Bobb, Erling Haaland.
