The UEFA Qualifiers for the 2022 Qatar World Cup\u00a0<\/strong>continue to give surprises, especially with the elimination last Thursday of the current\u00a0European champions<\/strong>,\u00a0Italy<\/strong>, who for the second consecutive time will not be in the world\u2019s top national team tournament, the\u00a0Qatar 2022 World Cup<\/strong>.\u00a0In these European playoff finals<\/strong>, six European teams will seek the remaining three tickets to be in\u00a0Qatar<\/strong>\u00a0in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Tuesday, March 29, 2022, we will have two of the commitments for the pass to the Qatar 2022 World Cup of the UEFA Qualifiers<\/strong>, where we will meet two classifieds from the Old Continent<\/strong>. Both games will be at the same time, 02:45 pm ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Russia<\/strong> began its chilling military attack on Ukraine<\/strong>, the Ukrainian Federation<\/strong> asked FIFA<\/strong> to postpone the semi-final match against Scotland<\/strong>, so that this duel could be played on the FIFA Date<\/strong> in June. The draw for the next World Cup<\/a><\/strong> will take place on April 1st, and it may be that we still do not know which is the last classified team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s Portugal team<\/strong> is just one step away from getting their ticket to the next World Cup in Qatar 2022<\/strong> and faces North Macedonia<\/strong> in the final of their key in the European playoffs<\/strong>. Although when the draw for this play-off was known we imagined an extraordinary final between Italy and Portugal<\/strong>, the Italians gave a surprise and were unable to beat a very weak team like North Macedonia<\/strong> at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal<\/strong> achieved a very good and hard-fought victory in their previous match against Turkey <\/strong>with a 3-1 result, but not before suffering after Turkey\u2019s captain Yilmaz <\/strong>had the chance to level the match at 2-2 from a penalty kick in the final stretch of the game. Otavio, Diogo Jota, and Matheus Nunes<\/strong> were in charge of giving Portugal<\/strong> the final 3-1 so that they are much closer to the World Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, we have North Macedonia<\/strong>, without a doubt, the one that arrives with the most encouragement to this great final, and it is not for less since they have just eliminated Italy<\/strong>, the other great team in the playoffs and that was called to be a finalist, even in Qatar 2022<\/strong> itself, with a goal scored by Trajkovski <\/strong>in the discount, beating the four-time world champion and current European champion, also doing it in Palermo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal vs. North Macedonia Betting Pick: <\/strong>Portugal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Update<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal <\/strong>qualified for the Qatar 2022 World Cup <\/strong>after his victory against North Macedonia <\/strong>with a score of 2-0, last Tuesday in Porto<\/strong>, so the top Portuguese<\/strong> star and one of the best players in the world, CR7<\/strong>, at 37 years old, will have the opportunity to play his 5th World Cup <\/strong>final phase in his career. Portugal <\/strong>sealed their ticket to Qatar<\/strong> thanks to Bruno Fernandes<\/strong>, who scored a brace in the 32nd and 65th minutes against the Macedonians<\/strong> who had caused the surprise by eliminating Italy.

The Macedonians<\/strong> took the field with great courage and became owners of the ball in the first minutes of the game, in which the Portuguese could not prevail. However, Portugal’s technical quality was far superior to that of North Macedonia <\/strong>and, in 14 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo <\/strong>created the first clear goal chance for his team, with a shot that grazed the left post of Macedonia’s goal.

But the first goal of the game came after an error by the visiting team. After half an hour of play, Fernandes<\/strong> intercepted a bad pass from Stefan Ristovski <\/strong>and, after a combination with CR7<\/strong>, who then assisted him, put Portugal<\/strong> ahead 1-0.

From this moment on, the ball was all for Portugal<\/strong> and the Manchester United<\/strong> footballer scored his second goal of the match. This time, when the Portugal<\/strong> team came out quickly and Jota<\/strong>, from the left; put a center that Fernandes <\/strong>finished off first to send the ball to the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be no tomorrow for Poland or Sweden<\/strong>. Rather, there will be no World Cup<\/strong>, since the match in which they face each other this Tuesday, March 29, 2022, is the play-off final of Path B of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers<\/strong>. The loser will have to watch the World Cup <\/strong>on television, while the winner will get one of the three remaining places for the tournament that begins in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland<\/strong> was one of the teams to benefit from Russia\u2019s suspension, as they went directly to the Play-Off Path B final<\/strong>. Although Poland<\/strong> did not play their match on the last day of the FIFA<\/strong> date, they arrive as clear favorites to win and say present in Qatar 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Sweden<\/strong> had it much more complicated, since, despite arriving as favorites to win the match, they had to suffer to beat the Czech Republic<\/strong> and be in this great final. Sweden<\/strong> finished second in Group B<\/strong> behind Spain<\/strong> and overcame a tough test of endurance in the semi-finals. Substitute Robin Quaison\u2019s extra-time goal served to eliminate the Czech Republic<\/strong>, with the presence in the stands of the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden vs. Poland Betting Pick: <\/strong>Poland<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Update<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Silesian Stadium in the Polish city of Katowice<\/strong>, or “the cauldron of witches<\/strong>“, was the witness of the Polish delirium. They got the ticket to Qatar 2022 <\/strong>with a good 2-0 victory, thanks to its top star Robert Lewandowski<\/strong>.

The inaccuracy in Poland’s attack, with Lewandowski<\/strong>, was drowned out by intense marking. Also, the inability to generate plays was the contrast throughout the first half of the game. This was thanks to Sweden’s ability to continually create clear goal chances, although without concretizing them.

The joy of Poland<\/strong> came in the 49th minute when Karlstroem <\/strong>committed a clear penalty on Krychowiak<\/strong>. It was later converted by captain Lewandowski<\/strong>; which generated a madness in the stands of their stadium that already felt like part of Qatar 2022<\/strong>. After this, Sweden<\/strong> was encouraged and began to attack incessantly, but Poland<\/strong> locked itself up to defend the result.

In the 72nd minute, Zielinski <\/strong>got ahead of Danielsson<\/strong>, stealing the ball from him in an opportunistic maneuver. Then in the 1 vs. 1 against the Swedish<\/strong> goalkeeper, he managed to beat Olsen<\/strong>. Finally, he gave Poland<\/strong> the definitive victory with a score of 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
