Germany vs. Iceland Tips & Quotes, 25.03.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
On Thursday evening, 25.03.2021 at 20:45, the German national team will start against Iceland in the World Cup qualification in the Duisburg Schauinsland Travel Arena. Last year, the DFB team lost 0-6 in Spain in the Nations League and missed the group victory and the associated entry into the NL semi-finals. The Vikings were shot down in England and picked up a 0-4 pack on the island. The Strakanir okkar even relegated point- and goalless from League A and thus remained in the NL even in the second attempt without a single point.

The team of federal coach Joachim Löw did not actually play a bad international game year 2020. The gossip in Spain was the only one in the last international match of the year. But Germany could not really convince with only two victories in the Nations-League-Gruppenphase either. Only the two games against Ukraine were won. Switzerland scored twice and scored 1-1 in the first leg at home against the Spaniards. After all, the eagle bearers were able to avoid relegation to the B-League and finished the preliminary round as a group second.
At the upcoming European Championship this summer, the Löw-Elf will meet world champions France, European champions and defending champions Portugal and Hungary in Group F. At the last European Championships 2016 in France, the Germans failed the host team in the semi-finals (0:2).
The final round of the World Cup in Russia almost three years ago was a pure embarrassment after the preliminary round against teams such as Sweden, South Korea and Mexico. As the world champion, Germany entered the tournament after winning the Copacabana title in 2014 and embarrassed itself to the bone.
After mixed performances, Löw dropped Julian Draxler, Julian Brandt and Thilo Kehrer from the national squad for the upcoming three international matches in March. The traditionally injured Marco Reus will also not be there, like Munich’s Niklas Süle. Amin Younes, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala are three new faces ahead of their debut in the Nationaldress.

The island kickers had a disastrous last year and sang- and soundlessly descended from the NL. Without points and six bankruptcies against England (0:1, 0:4), Belgium (1:5, 1:2) and even Denmark (0:3, 1:2), Erik Hamren’s national team was in terribly weak form and was replaced by new coach Arnar Vidarrson in December last year. Already in the first season 2018/19 in the Nations League there was not a single point win for the Strakanir okka in a group with Switzerland and Belgium.
The final round of the European Championships in three months will take place without the Icelanders, who qualified for the playoff games during the European Championship qualifying as one of the best group riders behind France and Turkey and still played for an European Championship ticket. The semi-finals against Romania were also successful 2-1. In the final, and thus on the finish line, Hungary lost the blow (0:1) and they missed the final round very skinny. Iceland participated in the last EURO and caused a sensation in France with the unexpected entry into the quarter-finals. Again, the French proved to be the final opponent (2:5). In the quarter-finals the Vikings kicked England out and defied the later European champion Portugal in the group stage a 1:1.
The 2018 World Cup in Russia was Iceland’s first ever World Cup tournament. Almost three years ago, however, the island kickers disappointed and were unable to build on the good performances at the European Championships. Against Argentina (1:1), Nigeria (0:2) and Croatia (1:2) there was only one counter and thus the premature exit.
In the Icelandic national squad, Gylfi Sigurdsson of Everton FC is considered the star in the team. In addition to the offensive midfielder, Albert Gudmundsson (Alkmaar), Johann Gudmundsson (Burnley), Hördur Magnusson (ZSKA Moscow) and Sverrir Ingason (PAOK Thessaloniki) are other pillars of the national team. Victor Palsson is also part of the German second division team Darmstadt 98.

Germany is favourite against Iceland for the opening win in the World Cup qualification. The DFB team will have finished 0-6 in Spain by now. The Strakanir okkar, on the other hand, will have the weak ideas in the Nations League even more in its bones (six bankruptcies in six group games). In addition, the Vikings were not able to win a single NL game or even score a point. Even more bitter for the Vidarsson team will have been the 0-1 defeat in the playoff final against Hungary, as it just missed the European Championship next summer. Due to the home advantage and the at least one class better positioned DFB-Elf, we are predicting a safe home win for the Löw-Elf in the Duisburg Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena. Accordingly, we also recommend handicap bets on Germany with HC (-1) for this tip forecast. The Sportsbook Tip wins if the DFB team wins with at least 2 goals difference. Of course, the odds offered for this are much more attractive than for normal winning bets on the Löw-Elf.
