Ståle Solbakken, coach of the Norwegians said after the win over Latvia: "I think the guys did very well. We have total control and we didn't let them get in one big chance. We scored very little, created a lot and especially the first 30-35 were of very high quality. Then the game will be over, and then we will have a bit of a messy period at the end of the first and the beginning of the second, but we can't demand more than this. We create a number of double-digit scoring chances and keep them completely away."

The last time Norway and Gibraltar met was in March this year; the Norwegians ran out three-goal scorers, Alexander Sørloth, Kristian Thorstvedt and Jonas Svensson were the scorers, players who will be looking to repeat the feat and pick up three more points.

Birger Meling spoke ahead of the match against Gibraltar: "It's a game we will win. We will take control and create chances like we did away to Latvia, then hopefully it will be a good experience tomorrow."

"If we get the job done tomorrow, there will be a tremendously exciting meeting in October with Turkey away and Montenegro at home. There's nothing we want more than to make the playoffs."  

"Last time it was a fantastic stage and atmosphere. Oljeberget and the rest of the team that was at the stadium did a fantastic job. If they can recreate it, we'll be very happy.  It's a pleasure to have supporters in the stands again, it gives us a huge amount. We're looking forward and I hope they are too."
