Romania Iceland betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 5^th position, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied a home match against Armenia by (1‑1). In the last round, they have won a home match against Liechtenstein by (4‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded. Their last away match was for the Friendlies and ended in a draw by (2‑2) against Poland. In the last 10 away matches Iceland has won 2, tied 1 and lost 7.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 12 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 8 matches for the WC Qualification Europe, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 12 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 24 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Iceland comes to this match after a 4-0 victory against Liechtenstein, putting an end to four consecutive matches without a win in this qualifying phase for the World Cup 2022: the team's goals were scored by Albert Gudmundsson (2), Andri Gudjohnsen and Stefan Teitur Thórdarson. In this match against Romania, coach Arnar Vidarsson should favor the low block and counterattacks, making the best use of the space behind the opponent's back. Albert Gudmundsson is Iceland's biggest standout, with 2 goals and 1 assist. For this game the manager can count on the usual players.
