Netherlands - Norway UEFA - WC 2010 Qual. Prediction

Netherlands - Norway
10.06 20:45
The popular Oranje squad already ensured they will be playing at the next World Cup by beating Iceland away by 2:1, even though the scoreline could`ve even been bigger. The Dutchmen will try to celebrate the qualification in front of their fans with another beautiful display, they will surely continue playing attacking and even though it`s possible they don`t field their strongest lineup, I don`t doubt the Netherlands will put a lot of effort in this match, and try to crush their rivals from Norway.
All hope is gone
Norway played poor 0:0 against Macedonia in the last round, in one of the most boring matches of the qualifiers last Saturday where both sides played defensive and uninterested football without many ideas and creativity in attack. Coach Olsen was angry at his players for not putting up more effort in that match, and for not realizing what they`ve been doing in their practices. Now they will surely try to leave a better impression and play with a lot more desire and heart, it`s even possible they score one goal, but how many will they concede is the real question.
Norway have no power to surprise
Unfortunately for the guests, the Norwegians don`t have what it takes to compete with such a fast-paced and skilled football team as the Netherlands. Although they have already secured their spot at the World Cup, the Dutchmen will surely keep on playing offensive from the minute one of this game and will put a huge pressure on weakened Norway (a few defenders out) that will try to produce some counterattacks and try to win but most of the Norwegian public is pessimistic about the outcome in this match and I just agree with them and believe Holland is two or three classes above them at the moment, and they will show it in this game. The odds on the hosts are dropping, so be quick.
Tip: Netherlands AH (-1), Odds 1.9;
