Norway climbs to the top of Slovenia’s not-so-pleasant ranking: no one has beaten our team more than once

Who will love you, Oslo?! Slovenia returned empty-handed once again from the capital of Norway. Our national team has never won at Ullevaal, where Norway presumably hosts its opponents. Slovenia recorded its sixth away match in Oslo on Tuesday, and the Vikings celebrated their fifth victory!
This defeat was particularly painful for the Slovenians because it was their first after almost a year without a setback. They lost to Denmark last November, and once again, they struggled in the North of Europe and simply were not the team we had been accustomed to in recent times. This was by no means Slovenia from Euro 2024; it was Slovenia from a different, almost forgotten period…
Norway overtakes Croatia
It’s worth highlighting something else: Norway has now climbed to the top of two special Slovenian statistical rankings with this match. The Norwegians are now the opponent against whom Slovenia has played the most matches. This was already the 12th encounter between the Slovenians and Norwegians; our national team has not faced anyone more often. In second place, with eleven matches, is Croatia.
But that’s not all. On Tuesday at Ullevaal, Slovenia suffered its seventh defeat against Norway, which can boast of having handed our national team the most losses among all opponents. After this match, Norway is now ahead of Croatia and Switzerland, which have defeated our team six times each. Slovenia has lost five times to Denmark and England.
