Even in the run-up to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, it was clear that in Group G high tension would be the order of the day in the battle for the first two places. It is all the more important to make the direct duels victorious. One of these awaits us on Tuesday evening at the Pod Goricom stadium in Podgorica, where Montenegro meets Norway. The odds suggest that the guests are favorites. We can understand the bookmaker’s assessment in purely qualitative terms, but the two matches played by the teams so far should also be included in the overall assessment. Although the home side had two weaker opponents with Latvia and Gibraltar in front of their chests, the two well-deserved successes ensured that the Falken can now go into the important home game against Haaland, Sörloth and Co. with a lot of self-confidence.
Montenegro – Stats & current form
Montenegro has never been allowed to take part in a World Cup or European Championship finals as an independent national football team. Most of the time, the Southeast Europeans failed significantly. Only in the context of qualifying for the EURO 2012 did the Falcons reach the playoffs, but failed there because of the Czechs. The longing to finally represent one’s own country at a major summer event is correspondingly great. Although the Montenegrins weren’t given great chances to have a say in the strong group G with Holland, Norway or Turkey for the first two places in the run-up to the World Cup qualification, the “Sokoli” made a strong start. The world number 63 celebrated against Latvia (2: 1) and Gibraltar (4: 1). two sure victories and thus ranks second behind the Turks in the ranking. Both Holland and Norway could already be distanced by three points.
Norway – Stats & current form
With 33 goals and eight assists in 31 competitive games for Borussia Dortmund, Erling Haaland is undoubtedly one of the best footballers worldwide this season. No other attacker his age is as courted as the brawny and lightning-fast full-blooded striker of BVB. While he scores at will in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, the response to his appearances in the national team was completely opposite. Haaland could not score a goal either in the 3-0 win against Gibraltar or in the 3-0 defeat against Turkey at the weekend. Worse still: The country’s emotional superstar seemed absent, resigned after losing the ball from his teammates and, on balance, gave just as bad a picture as the entire team, which was hopelessly inferior in Malaga, Spain – which was not allowed to be played in Norway due to safety regulations.
