"I still believe that the top Danish Superliga can easily compete with the Norwegian league. But at the moment, Bodo/Glimt are the best team in Scandinavia. You can't argue with that. The Norwegian league is ranked higher than the Danish league in the UEFA efficiency coefficient, largely due to Bodo/Glimt's results."
"At the moment, I would like to put Norway slightly ahead of Denmark, with Sweden in third place, although Djurgarden are in the semi-finals of the Conference League."

"The Danes will have to turn things around and have all the prerequisites to overtake Norway again. But at the moment, the top teams in Denmark are not at their best."

"At the moment, all the teams are fighting each other. At the moment, Bodo/Glimt are in pole position, which means that Norway could also be ahead at the moment."

"I think that, first of all, FIFA has the biggest fault, given the circumstances when Qatar hosted the tournament. That is obviously the biggest mistake. "After that, I don't think football has done enough, I don't think journalists have done enough. I think you have also been asleep for a long, long time. "I think it was only in the last few years that people suddenly thought: 'Oh, the World Cup in Qatar'. In the first few years after the World Cup was awarded to Qatar, I think the whole world was more or less asleep, including football professionals and also journalists. "I don't think anyone feels comfortable with that. The main issue for the player should be to play football and for the coaches to coach the team." “But I think that at the same time, football politicians have a big responsibility to position themselves on this kind of path, on how certain World Cups should be, that you have to act in a certain way, have equal rights for all human beings and that all people are treated well.”

"We tried a number of different combinations to gain insight, so that the players could feel at home in different positions. Even during the game, it may be necessary to rotate players in different positions. We paid attention to this in training. Based on the sessions, I believe that the mutual understanding between the players gradually improved. On several occasions, we came very close to achieving a result against teams that were objectively stronger than us in terms of score."

Norway's likely line-up is: Nyland; Ryerson, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Odegaard, Berge, Thorsby; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa. The Norwegians can count on the goalscoring instinct of striker Erling Haaland.

Estonia's likely line-up is: Hein; Schjonning-Larsen, Paskotsi, Kuusk, Saliste; Soomets, Shein; Yakovlev, Kait, Sinyavskiy; Tamm. Estonia has Alex Tamm in the squad.

Norwegian star Erling Haaland is expected to start alongside Alexander Sorloth and Antonio Nusa. The trio of goalscorers will be hoping to secure a fourth win in four games on Monday. Captain Martin Odegaard is expected to play alongside Sander Berge and Morten Thorsby, while the defence will feature Kristoffer Ajer and Torbjorn Heggem.

Estonia's top scorer Mattias Kait is likely to be deployed once again in midfield behind striker Alex Tamm. Full-backs Ioan Yakovlev and Vlasiy Sinyavskiy will support Alex Tamm, while Michael Schjonning-Larsen and Joseph Saliste will overlap.
