Norway have a vital home game in World Cup qualifying Group G. They are two points behind the Netherlands with three games to play and host Montenegro who are fourth. There's little chance of the Norwegians going above the Dutch this week. The Netherlands are home to Gibraltar so should get a comfortable victory. Norway travel to the Netherlands for their final group match and that could well be a game where a win will see them qualify. Before that, they have to beat Montenegro and then Latvia. Norway may have an eye on top spot but they could still lose out on second place. They are two points clear of Turkey and three above their opponents in this game. Norway are unbeaten in their last four games and Haaland has scored five goals in those games but he's out injured at present. Only one of their last seven home World Cup qualifying games has been lost. 

The reverse fixture saw Montenegro lose 1-0 and they continue to be in poor form. Montenegro have two wins in their last eight internationals and both came against Gibraltar who have lost all seven of their games in this group. Aside from those two wins, the only other victory in this group was away in Latvia (one win in seven games in this group) and they had to come from behind to win that one. Norway aren't easy to beat (they held the Netherlands to a home 1-1 draw), so back them to get a vital home win.
