Europe World Cup Qualifications - November

Colombia vs. Paraguay

Colombia is approaching the upcoming fight with serious personnel losses. A number of important players in the main clip - Yerri Mina, Mateus Uribe, Radamel Falcao - as well as Carlos Cuesta, Stefan Medina and Oscar Murillo are unavailable due to injuries. At the same time, in the duel with Brazil, the main left lateral Joan Mojica and the main centerhav Vilmar Barrios received sanctioned yellow cards. But Paraguay has no problems with disqualifications and injuries.
Colombia - Paraguay
Colombia and Paraguay drew two months ago in Asuncion, their first face-to-face draw since 2004. But this very outcome seems to me the most probable even in the upcoming fight. Los Cafeteros is slightly stronger by default. Plus, the home field factor. But at the same time, one cannot ignore the personnel losses of Reinaldo Rueda's team. In addition, both teams in recent matches did not shine in attack, having scored zero goals for two in eight matches. I will not be very surprised if the face-to-face meeting of these two teams will end in a goalless draw. I would not be surprised, however, if Colombia still gains a minimal victory due to the class of individual players.

Match Bet Colombia wins by 1 goal or draw
 
Netherlands vs. Norway

A huge problem for the Norwegian national team is the fact that it approached the decisive matches of qualification without its leader - Erling Holand. The second main striker - Alexander Serlot gets less practice in Real Sociedad. Therefore, in the Netherlands, the main hope of the Norwegians in the attack may be Joshua King, who relaunched his career at Watford. In turn, the Netherlands national team is approaching the match without significant losses. Louis van Gaal can count on all the strongest players. Therefore, it is expected that the starting lineup will be as close as possible to the one that started the fight in Montenegro. Changes are predicted in the attack, where Noah Lang and Steven Bergwijn can play instead of Doniell Malen and Arno Danjuma.
Louis van Gaal's team won all of their home games in the qualifier for the 2022 World Cup very confidently. In Latvia, the Oranje scored two goals, Montenegro - four, and Turkey and Gibraltar each got six. I expect that the Dutch will also deal with the weakened Norway and proceed from the first place to the World Championship. But the hosts won't have an easy walk.

My prediction - Netherlands win and both teams to score.
