He believes that simple opposition in many parties can be a disadvantage for Norway.
– The best level so far in the European Championships was the first round between Russia and France (28-28 at the end). I think that match also gives the two teams a little advantage because therefore they have felt a bit at the top level, Pettersen tells NTB.
Before the final of the European Championship, he ranks in the top 3 as follows: 1) Russia, 2) France, 3) Norway.
Just before the European Championship, Pettersen kept Norway as the favorite. – So far in the European Championship, Norway has not been adequately challenged. They have been allowed to play their game. I certainly don’t think that will happen against teams like Russia and France. They will probably use different offensive formations and defense solutions.
– Norway must be even more careful and sharp in what it does. A mistake is punished much more by Russia and France than by Romania, says Pettersen.

He believes that Norway has more to do in the defensive game. He is also excited about how Norway will solve a possible opponent’s tactic where Stine Bredal Oftedal tries to neutralize on the field.
– If that happens, it can also take Nora Mørk out of the game a lot in the attacking game, says Pettersen
After five games, Norway’s average margin of victory is 11.6 goals. That trip can be expensive.
Norway plays Hungary on Tuesday, but the result does not affect Norway’s way forward as the group winner.
Russia and France have the best conditions in the second group. The Russians face Denmark on Tuesday. – I think the Danes are completely dependent on goalkeeper Sandra Toft playing a super match to threaten Russia, Pettersen tells NTB.
Denmark made up to 18 technical errors against a weak Spanish team on Monday.
Germany and Croatia can pass from the Norwegian group. They meet on Tuesday and victory alone is enough for the Germans.
Denmark is guaranteed to go to the semi-finals with a win over the Russians. After that match, it will be clear who Norway will face on Friday.
