The Icelanders had to prove their skills with Liechtenstein on the last qualifying day. The roles were already clearly distributed before the kick-off. The guests were treated as clear favourites and did justice to this role after only 12 minutes. At this point, Sævarsson scored 1-0. Shortly before the half-time break, Bjarnason was able to increase to 2:0 and at the same time made the break. After the change of sides, not much happened for a long time before Pálsson secured a 3-0 lead in the 77th minute. Just two minutes later, the home team scored by Yanick Frick. Shortly before the final whistle, however, the visitors finally put the lid on it and scored the 4-1 final score with a penalty scored by Sigurjonsson.
The threesome was the first success experience in the course of the World Cup qualification. Previously, two defeats had to be accepted. The first came after a 0-3 win against Germany and the second had to be accepted after a 0-2 win against Armenia. With a record of one win and two defeats, it is currently enough for the penultimate position in the league table in Group J. The offensive looks at four goals scored and the defence have conceded six goals on the other side. The gap to the front runner from Armenia is six points.
The Icelanders missed participating in the Euro 2021 and recently appeared in friendly matches. In three sets, only one threesome jumped out. This was achieved after a close 1-0 victory against the Faroe Islands. It defeated Mexico 1:2 and finally Poland split the points after a 2:2 defeat.

The Romanians last competed in Armenia. The first round offered only a few highlights. Consequently, this elapsed without a goal. This should change abruptly after the page change. Only eleven minutes had passed when the home team went to the front through Spertsyan. The guests were unimpressed and only six minutes later came to equalize by Cicaldau. Another ten minutes later, Cicaldau was on the field for the second time and was able to secure a 2-1 victory. The schedule was turned. However, when Puscas flew off the pitch in the 78th minute, Romania was shorthanded. This gave hosts new options. In the 86th minute Haroyan equalised. Shortly before the final whistle, Barseghyan was on the spot, was able to secure a 3-2 victory and made the home team’s victory perfect.
The previous matchday was also lost and resulted in a narrow 0-1 defeat against Germany. The first matchday brought a narrow 3-2 victory against North Macedonia. With a total of one win and two defeats, the team ranks fourth. The offensive looks at five goals scored and the defense have conceded six goals on the other side. The gap to the front runner from Armenia is six points. With two goals, Cicaldau is the best attacker in his own ranks.
Just like the Icelanders, Romania was also unable to use the ticket for the 2021 Euro. For this reason, two friendly games had to be played. Both games were lost to Georgia and England.
Latest Games of Romania
Romania: 1 win – 0 draws – 4 losses
1 win Iceland – 0 draws – 0 wins Romania
Both Iceland and Romania rely on a threesome to maintain their chances of qualifying for the World Cup. However, the odds make it clear that both teams are more likely to act as outsiders. In the direct duel, no real favorite can be seen. Both competitors will throw everything into the balance. In the course of our World Cup betting forecast, it is difficult to make a favorite tip. But it is to be expected with gates on both sides.
