2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[LTU_btc]

After eliminating Italy, now North Macedonia have chance to reach World Cup. Italy is stronger team than Portugal IMO, but I don't believe in North Macedonia chances to make another big upset.
Poland - Sweden should be very interesting game, though probably not that eye-catching and without many goals. I see Poland as favorites a bit and there is good value betting for their win. I think big factor is that Poland is playing at home.

Portugal and Poland will be the next teams to play at Qatar's FIFA World Cup in 2022.

Is it possible for North Macedonia to win their final World Cup qualifier against Portugal? It wasn't an easy match for Macedonia against Italy, but they were brilliant, and Sweden are also great. Although Poland are the favorite, Sweden has a strong lineup. It would be surprising if Portugal and Poland did not qualify. All the teams looked good tonight.

Portugal is not as convincing as a few years ago and they have had a lot of problems in these qualifiers.
Serbia was better than them in the qualifying group for the World Cup, and Turkey was very close to going into overtime in the previous game.
In all these key matches, Ronaldo showed very little in attack.
Let's not forget that in these qualifiers Macedonia also beat Germany away and that their victory against Italy is not accidental.
Therefore, let's not write off Macedonia too soon.
Poland has a small advantage against Sweden because they play at home and because of Lewandowski, but even in that match everything is open.

I don't know what happened to Italy when they lost to Northern Macedonia, but I don't think the Macedonians' luck will be repeated today against Portugal. Although they have repeatedly played unpredictably, beating Germany away and now Italy as well. Maybe Portugal will also lose? But personally, I don't believe it. Otherwise it will be another sensation.

It is still difficult to accept the fact that Italy failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup because they were defeated by North Macedonia. I think
North Macedonia's luck was pretty big against Italy, but it looks like North Macedonia's luck won't be repeated against Portugal. After all,
Portugal saw Italy's defeat as a lesson for them to be more careful when facing North Macedonia. Although most people agree Portugal can beat
North Macedonia, but in football nothing is certain, anything can happen. So even though many people predict Portugal will beat North Macedonia
easily, surprises can still happen, therefore the Portugal vs North Macedonia match is very interesting to watch. We'll see if North Macedonia can survive
by Portugal's attack and take advantage of the counter-attack like they beat Italy, or Portugal could use its players who have good individual skills
to score goals and beat North Macedonia. We will find out the answer in a few hours, because Portugal vs North Macedonia is about to start.

no one thought that Italy had to lose its place in the world cup because it lost against North Macedonia. Of course, people don't think because there are many factors favored in Italy such as the defending European Cup champion and great players who strengthen the great clubs in the world.
Macedonia qualified because they were lucky, because during the match, Italy won in everything from shots to ball possession.

i was very favorite to italy in almost every world cup, but they were unlucky for the second time (didn't make it through to the world cup). against Portugal later, I'm sure the Macedonian squad have a great spirit because they managed to get rid of a team as big as Italy, Macedonia is really very lucky.

Portugal certainly knows how passionate Macedonia is to qualify for the World Cup after they made it to the final qualifying stage after eliminating the UEFA Euro 2020 Champions.
Portugal is looking at the match against Macedonia with great enthusiasm. The Portuguese coach will set the strategy and try to prevent his players from making the slightest mistake and take the slightest opportunity to score a goal because Portugal is aware that Macedonia can prevent Portugal from qualifying.

Sometimes the unexpected happens and I hope something like this happens again in today's match for North Macedonia, as I said before if this actually happened it would be a big history. A team that was certainly underestimated before but who would have thought, North Macedonia could even get rid of the Euro 2020 and 2016 champions. If we analyze and predict then of course North Macedonia doesn't have any chance at this moment, but I really hope that surprises happen again even though indeed, above paper it seems very unlikely to happen.

In general, Northern Macedonia did not have a difficult group, with the exception of Germany, which they also managed to beat once, the other opponents were very weak. But the fact that, because of Northern Macedonia, Italy are missing out on the World Cup for the second time, being the current European champion, is really very hard to believe. I'm sure the Portuguese are praying right now.

I strongly feel that Portugal will win because of Ronaldo, as it’s possibly his last chance of playing at the World Cup and therefore he’ll bring his best game against North Macedonia. Also another positive factor for Portugal is that they have a superior squad and that should give them a psychological advantage over North Macedonia, and lastly I’m being biased but I want to see Ronaldo play his last possible World Cup, hence I’m rooting for a Portugal win.

The lucky victory obtained by Macedonia, which managed to prevent Italy from qualifying for the world cup for the second time in a row, in the match between Italy and Macedonia actually Mancini fielded an emergency player, because the players who won Italy in the European championships were injured, maybe this too is one of Italy's defeats against Macedonia, sometimes big countries often experience pressure when facing countries that are not superior, as happened to the German national team in the past, they were surprisingly defeated by South Korea with a score of 2-0.

[dwminer1]

The hosts seem to be the clear favorite in the Portugal - North Macedonia match, but I thought the same before the Macedonians' match with Italy a few days ago... Knowing the result of that rivalry, the Portuguese will certainly not underestimate their rivals. I bet that today there will be no surprise and Portugal will win with a handicap of -1.5

[tyz]

One step closer for North Macedonia to make new history of his participant on FIFA World Cup in Qatar because life and die match against with Portugal will give one spot to North Macedonia will play on world cup. I think North Macedonia keep playing with defensive style like showed when defeating Italy, but I think Portugal have many potential player could created attempt to make goal out penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandez until Bernando Silva. Looks hard when get defensive game play with against team have specialist with scoring goal out penalty kick area.

But the defensive style only worked because Italy didn't take its chances. I watched the game and after 10 minutes Italy already had three good chances. I remember that I thought that this will give a clear result for Italy and will North Macedonia go down. In the end it turned out differently, but not so much because of the good defensive work as because of the missed chances of the Italians.

Will give chance for against team when adopting with defensive style games play because got moment when counter attack and all player from Italy is not ready back to defensive area, I think North Macedonia just take one player as central forward how to build with counter attack and take decision to make shot out penalty box. Although have risk with getting pressure almost 90 minutes but North Macedonia success make all Italy player frustrating how to get North Macedonia defensive, I think will work for second chance when against with Portugal but keep have big risk when against team full pressure.

[bitzizzix]

Italy's defeat against North Macedonia will be endless to talk about, as North Macedonia is very surprising as North Macedonia's record is unbeaten in last five away matches in 2022 World Cup qualifiers, four wins and one draw. And more surprisingly won four of their last five away games, two of them against two of the best teams in the world Germany and Italy.
and Portugal must not underestimate North Macedonia because this is their life and death match to qualify for the Qatar 2022 world cup, and must play as much as possible by fielding their best squad to beat North Macedonia and I hope Ronaldo scores.

Of course, Italy's defeat is still being talked about, because the one who beat Italy was North Macedonia whose squad was almost entirely mediocre.
Even I don't know the majority of North Macedonian players. In contrast to Italy which is dominated by players who have very good quality,
even the Italian squad's reserve players are far above North Macedonian players in quality. So Italy's defeat of North Macedonia is like a fairy tale,
the meaning is truly shocking and very difficult for logic to accept. If we look at North Macedonia's performance since playing in Group J with Germany,
North Macedonia already gave a surprise by beating Germany in his own home. Although Germany at that time played all its main players,
unexpectedly North Macedonia humiliated Germany in front of its own supporters.

Therefore Portugal should not underestimate North Macedonia, since for North Macedonia they are only one step away from the 2022 World Cup,
it is certain that the game will be quite tough. Because for the two teams the Path C play-off final match was like life and death. Neither Portugal
nor North Macedonia will put out the best form they have. Hopefully Ronaldo can score a goal in that match and lead Portugal to beat North Macedonia
to reach the 2022 World Cup, which is likely to be Ronaldo's last World Cup.

This match will be eye catching, some of us are wondering how this match will end and what will North Macedonia do
Portugal as favourites shouldn't underestimate North Macedonia as they made a few surprises
in an important match like this something unexpected can happen as usual luck can help any of them.

[darxiaomi]

I think Macedonia has 0 chance to do again the miracle against Portugal, you cant be so lucky two times in a row.

Portugal have Cristiano Ronaldo a blessed player, so if things go wrong lucky smiles to Cristiano with a penalty or a gift from the Macedonian players.

I think Mecadonia came with enthusiasm and did not give up, I think Mecadonia played without the slightest burden because they were not the underdog team, this is a mental advantage in my opinion, if our team is not seeded in a match, when the players leave without their burden will give you more energy and full of enthusiasm.
On the Portuguese side, I think they will play carefully and with the burden they are carrying, this is certainly a mental problem for the players. And usually if players have a high load this will affect their own game.
It's worth waiting for a surprise from mecadonia this time.

Portugal will always be the big favorite to win against Macedonia but never say never. Macedonia already stunted against Italy and they can do it again. Portugal relies almost 100% on Ronaldo and nobody knows what will happen if he gets injured early in the match.

[Leo]

Poland to win, likewise Portugal also to win, I don't see Poland standing a chance in defeating Portugal, if eventually they win Portugal, then I would not consider it to be a luck, it means that they were not lucky when they defeated Italy, I want to see Ronaldo play in the world Cup hopefully Portugal wins
