Ståle Solbakken keeps the crew that ensured a 3-0 victory at home against Slovenia on Thursday. The only change to the team is that Marcus Holmgren Pedersen starts instead of Leo Skiri Østigård. Midfielder Østigård was replaced at half-time against Slovenia due to a thigh injury and had to miss the match against Austria. Holmgren Pedersen came against Slovenia as a right-back, while Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer was pushed in as a centre-back. The Norwegian team on Sunday is thus the same that started the second half against Slovenia. This means that Alexander Sørloth and Erling Braut Haaland will once again start at the top together. The two wreaked havoc with Slovenia and scored all three of Norway’s goals in Thursday’s game. Norway’s team against Austria (4-4-2): Ørjan Håskjold Nyland – Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, Kristoffer Vassbak Ajer, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, David Møller Wolfe – Julian Ryerson, Sander Berge, Morten Thorsby, Antonio Nusa – Erling Braut Haaland and Alexander Sørloth. Austria lines up as follows (4-2-3-1): Patrick Pentz – Stefan Posch, Gernot Trauner, Philipp Lienhart, Philipp Mwene – Konrad Laimer, Nicolas Seiwald – Romano Schmid, Christoph Baumgartner, Marcel Sabitzer – Marko Arnautovic.
