Betting Tip

Two teams from the bottom of Group 9. Macedonia is always an outsider in every qualification, while Norway expected much better results. After only two points from first three matches they changed coach and this is last chance for them to enter into race for second place. All teams are still in race, but these two have no rights to fail anymore.

Macedonia is without any success on big stage and they never play on some big tournaments. They are small country which had some good players in their history, but after SFRY fallen apart they are nothing but outsiders. They know to make problems at home to some strong teams, but they were never even close to WC or EC. Katanec was their manager in the beginning of this campaign. He started with a home win against Scotland, but after those three defeats comes and he is sacked. To be honest, that decision has nothing with his results, it is more politic. Macedonia lost against Netherlands twice and against Iceland away and they didn’t play so bad, but that obviously wasn’t enough. Former coach of youth National team will lead team in the rest of qualification and he could bring some fresh blood into NT.

Norwegians expect to have easier job in this qualification, but loss against Dutch and two draws are not what they wanted. Reaction was very quick and new boss arrive. Egil Olsen already played this part and with big success. Under his leadership this team played on two World Cups 1994 and 1998. Everybody expects series of wins now and this match could be very good for start. With win here team will regain self confidence back and they would be again in contest for South Africa. New boss already had four games to test new players and many players showed what they are capable of. Now it is time for Olsen to select the best and to make results. Norway has no more time and everything except win is a failure and god bye to WC 2010.

Betting odds on away win are great and I will risk there. Norwegians are better team and they will attack from the first minute. Macedonia also must attack and that will leave some space for guests in attack.
