2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Soonandwaite]

In this group the Netherlands will surely advance to the tournament, but Turkey is the favorite to become second after they managed to win against the netherlands

Well, winning the Netherlands right at the opening of the qualifiers will certainly give Turkey a stimulus to keep winning, and there isn't way to say that it was lucky because nobody scores 4 goals against the Netherlands, even playing at home.

But, the Netherlands qualify? I don't know... They were already out of Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup... ok, the team is now totally renewed, but they will have to play better.

i also think that the netherlands will have a very hard time qualifying for quatar. there are only 13 places in total for the teams in UEFA.
and there are 10 groups with 5 teams in each. Of these, only the best team qualifies. and 3 other places will then be determined in the playoffs.
and there will certainly be very, very good, well-known teams that you wouldn't expect to be there today.
that's why I think that 2 or 3 very good teams from europe won't take part in the World Cup in quatar because they don't manage to qualify.

Yes, Netherlands should play better than their performance in the match against Turkey. Norway and Turkey both are very tough opponents for them in the group. And only the first two teams of a group have a chance to advance. If Netherlands don't improve their game, they could end the group as the 3rd.

Tomorrow will be a bit easier, it is not going to be super easy but it is going to be a bit easier. I agree that Turkey has a huge chance to win, they showed how great they were in euro qualifiers and also beat Netherlands to prove that they are still good as well. However one thing is for sure, they are not really playing with pure talent, of course they are very talented but they play with this fire within them and that is why I think it is quite obvious that there is this question of will they still have that fire or will they get complacent about the game.

Aside from that I think Germany Ireland, France, Croatia all will their games if you ask me. These are easy games and the odds are quite low for most of them, but if you combine them all you could get like a x4.0+ odds all together, so you could basically get a good profit from guaranteed games.

Spain draw with Greece was biggest surprise tonight. Spain played well, but referee gave questionable penalty which made score 1:1. Greece today made just 1 shot in total - feel the 2004 vibes, lol
Ibra returned to national team with an assist and win against Georgia.
There was some interesting high scoring games with big comebacks like Hungary 3:3 Poland, Scotland 2:2 Austria (amazing goal by McGinn is worth to see), Romania 3:2 North Macedonia.
Hungary - Poland probably was the most exciting one.

I read the statistics of this match somewhere and by all statistical indicators Spain was absolutely better and should have won convincingly.
Greece really had a lot of luck in this match and it has to be said.
Things like this happen sometimes, a mix of unfortunate circumstances but for the Spanish national team there is no need to be afraid, they are still one of the best national teams in the world.
Personally, I'm much more worried about the poor result of Croatia in the match with Slovenia.
It's a continuation of the bad cycle of Croatian games after the World Cup in Russia, where they won a sensational second place and perhaps an indication that Croatia is moving away from the top of world football.

It is very hard to predict outcome for matches in world cup qualifications or odds are to low but I think that good startegy would be to bet on goals.
I asee a lot of matches are ending up with both teams to score so if we are smart we can take advantage of that.
Turkey has a good chance against Norway and I think that double chance would be a good bet for that match, after they won against Netherlands at home and this match will be played at neutral ground at Spain, that will probably suit Turkey more than Norway.

Ukraine is not a minnow team. They have qualified for World Cup before and previously they had star players such as Andriy Shevchenko. Even the current team have some very good players such as Andriy Yarmolenko and Yevhen Konoplyanka. But France completely dominated the game. They had 18 goal attempts, compared to just 4 for Ukraine. Also France had 62% possession.

Ukraine is really decent team, especially under management of Shevchenko. Offcourse, they aren't on France, Spain or Germany level, but I think it's not something sensational that they took point from France. But your information about Ukraine players is a bit outdated. Konoplyanka was amzing 5 years ago, but now he barely get to play for Shakhtar and I actually surprised that he is still called to national team. Yarmolenko also far from being West Ham starting 11 player. But yeah, they have great players like Zinchenk or Malinovskiy.

I don't think there is need to worry about Croatia, it's just their level. 2018 World Cup performance was above their level. They are good team, but not that much better thans Slovenia that this opponent would be must beat for them. Also, many of their main players aren't that young, so it's nothing surprising that they aren't as good as they were few years ago.

It looks like odds are changing for the benefit of Turkey.    I expect a really tough game in this. Norway are more powerful with Haaland and Turkey defense should watch out for him especially. And Sorloth also is a big threat. But after seeing Turkey's determination against Netherlands, I also think that Turkey could manage to beat them.

So the odds for Turkey have been changed from 3.20 to 2.85? Even at 2.85, they are under-estimating Turkey, since Norway is being given 2.43. I think many of these sportsbooks simply go with the FIFA ranking to decide the odds, rather than looking in to other factors such as recent form and unavailability of the main players. And during the Turkey vs Netherlands match also they did the same thing.

Turkey's position in the rankings would have been behind, but they are stable enough as a team. And we got proof of that in the match against the Netherlands. The Netherlands ranks 14th in the FIFA rankings and Turkey ranks 32nd. Still, they put up a formidable 4-2 win over the Netherlands. I think they will be able to defeat the Norwegian squad as well.

Today I would like to choose Turkey, Russia, Netherlands, Portugal for betting. The match between Russia and Slovenia could be a draw. However, I will bet on Russia's victory. What's your pick?

Slovenia did managed to surprise me when they beat Croatia in their first game but I think it would be difficult for Slovenia to duplicate that success again when they play against Russia, with Croatia sitting in this group, I believe Russia would surely want to gain as many points as possible from other teams, I guess Russia should be able to beat Slovenia today and maintain their top position on the table in Group H.

World Cup qualifying tonight in the group G match between Turkey and Norway.Norway's offensive line is very strong.Haaland and Sørloth very talented players.I think the match will end in a draw.

A lot of people lose money based on bookmakers' estimates... And if you take into account the unpredictability of recent games, then making predictions about upcoming games is very difficult!
But I bet on Turkey win too, we'll see how they play...

Turkey’s goalkeeper and the defenders are very good.Ozan Kabak is playing very well in Liverpool, Çağlar Söyüncü in Leicester too.Burak Yilmaz scored 3 goals in the Netherlands.Hakan Çalhanoğlu is in great shape.I think there will be a draw.However, Turkey would not be a surprise if they wins.

By the way, I don't understand why the odds are so low on a Russian victory? This team missed the goal from Malta! And the Slovenian team is not worse in class than Russia! In my opinion Russia can lose, but I am not sure...

Currently, I think very few people look to Russia, as a team capable of winning the championship. I think it will be on the final face, but I don't see her as a candidate.

That's a fair question, as Slovenia beat Croatia, they don't have better squad quality than Croatia but they managed to beat them. We can see similar situation against Russia today too. Slovenia doesn't have a a fancy squad but have some quality players. Croatia win was a surprise for me, maybe today a draw in Russia would be enough for them. Probably that's why Russia odds are low, Russia needs to win at home but Slovenia would be ok with 1 point today.

I predict another victory for Turkey. Don't go with the betting odds, as they don't take in to account the recent form. Turkish players performed exceptionally during their match against the Netherlands. If they can defeat the Dutch, then definitely they can defeat the Norwegians as well. If that happens, then the Netherlands will be in a difficult position, as they were expected to top the group.

Russia and Slovenia currently lead in Group H and whoever wins the match between Slovenia and Russia will become Croatia's main competitor for first place in Group.
The group is actually very even and will probably be uncertain until the end, and if Croatia overcomes the current crisis, it will remain the favorite for first place in the group.
It seems that Slovakia also has problems, so I give the advantage for the second place to Slovenia and Russia.

The fact that Slovenia managed to beat Croatia is an accident, I think after several matches everything will change and Croatia and Slovakia will be the leaders of the group. Although if we look at it in general terms, then yes Slovakia, Slovenia and Russia are very equal teams. Only Croatia stands out for me, I thought they would come out as leaders from this group.

World Cup qualifying tonight in the group G match between Turkey and Norway.Norway's offensive line is very strong.Haaland and Sørloth very talented players.I think the match will end in a draw.

Belarus vs Estonia = Belarus
Norway vs Turkey= Turkey
Croatia vs Cyprus= Croatia
The Netherlands vs Latvia= Netherlands

I really wait for the matches above, but Turkey is also not a team that is easy to beat, that match is sure to be interesting

[Lucius]

Only Croatia stands out for me, I thought they would come out as leaders from this group.

What people need to know is that this is not the same Croatia from 2018 World Cup in Russia, some key players have left (Rakitic, Mandzukic, Subasic (GK), Corluka), and Modric is 35 years old. In the match with Slovenia, they had only one real chance, which speaks enough that they have very big problems with realization.

Cyprus is nominally a weaker team than Croatia, but they showed that they can offer good resistance to stronger teams than themselves, and it is no coincidence that they played a draw with Slovakia.
