THE PREDICTION
Louis van Gaal’s side welcome Norway to Amsterdam, with the visitors severely weakened by the absence of star striker Erling Haaland through injury. Haaland had scored five goals for Norway across their qualification campaign so far and he will be a big miss. Netherlands know that bar an unrealistic goal difference swing, just avoiding defeat will be enough to qualify for the 2022 World Cup and in the knowledge that Norway have no choice but to come out and commit bodies forward to try and force victory for themselves, the hosts may be set to pick their opponents off on the counter attack. From an individual point of view, Netherlands boasts the superior set of players and with Van Gaal having worked them into a strong team unit, the home side should prove too strong for the Norwegians in this one, so back them to come out on top.
