Prediction: 4-0
Gibraltar
David faces Goliath in Oslo on Tuesday evening as Norway and Gibraltar go head to head in the 2022 World Cup qualifier. As expected, Norway defeated Latvia at the weekend, with Erling Haland extending his amazing goal-scoring run. Stale Solbakken’s troops are eager to regain their spot in top two, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Gibraltar.
Talented forward Jens Hauge is widely expected to return to the starting XI. The minnows, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their five group games. Gibraltar are stuck at the bottom of Group G, and seeing that they head into the match with the lack of confidence, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. The bad news for the hosts is that important attacker Tjay de Barr misses the game through suspension.

Omar Elabdellaoui is a footballer of Moroccan descent who represents Norway on the international stage. Elabdellaoui made his Norway debut in August 2013 in a friendly match against Sweden. He spent 72 minutes on the field, playing as a right back.
Speaking of his club career, the 179-cm-tall footballer played for Manchester City youth team from 2008 and 2011, but he did not make his Man City debut at senior level.

Highlighted Team (Gibraltar):
Gibraltar played their first unofficial match against Jersey in the 1993 Island Games. The Gibraltarians suffered a 2-1 loss to Jersey, but they did well to hold Slovakia to a goalless draw in their first official international match. Gibraltar participated in the 2016 World Cup qualifiers and they were drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Poland, Georgia, Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
They failed to impress on their debut in the World Cup qualifiers and it has to be noted that the minnows suffered a loss in each of their ten group games (goal difference 2:56). Gibraltar recorded their first ever win against Malta on April 6, 2014 and that is considered the team’s biggest success.
Danny Higginbotham, who played for the likes of Manchester United, Southampton, Sunderland, Stoke City and Sheffield United during his professional career, has three caps for Gibraltar national football team and he is considered the greatest player who whore Gibraltar shirt. The Gibraltarians play their home games at Estadio Algarve, speaking of qualifying matches.
