For the 5th match of the 7th group of the qualifying phase of the 2022 World Cup, the Netherlands welcomes Montenegro at the Phillips Stadium in Eindhoven, in the presence of approximately 23.000 spectators.
The Netherlands at the Van Haal premiere on her bench remained in the 1-1 draw in Oslo against Norway. He was better throughout the match but he proved to be talkative as he did have a lot of possession but he did not manage to create big phases in the opponent's home. He was left behind in the score at 20΄, he managed to equalize at 36΄ but the overthrow never came.
So the Netherlands lost the opportunity to climb to the first place of the group and remained in 2nd place with 7 points, along with Norway and Montenegro, one less than 1st Turkey after 5 matches.
Whatever it was at 30 ΄ back in the score with 2-0….Montenegro managed to leave Istanbul with a draw (2-2) in the middle of the week against Turkey. He entered the match sluggishly and saw the hosts gain a strong lead from an early age, however, shortly before the break he managed to reduce the score. In the replay he had a more passive role but not only withstood the pressure but found a way to 90΄ + 7΄ to reach a draw and shape the final result.
With this point, Montenegro reached 7 after five games and is in 2nd place, remaining "alive" in the case of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar even as second in the group.
The Netherlands is the top team and the big favorite for the victory in today's match. However, Montenegro, as it showed in Turkey, is not an easy opponent and can hardly put the "greens". I believe that the hosts will reach the victory but the Balkans can score a goal!
