Iceland and Germany will meet in a match corresponding to the 6th matchday of Group J of the UEFA World Cup Qualification. The game will take place next Wednesday, September 8. The venue for this match will be the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium, located in Reykjavik.
In this sixth round, Iceland missed the first round of qualifying. It is clear that it is unrealistic to fight with Germany (0:3), but the defeats with a score of 0:2 against Armenia and Romania should have been avoided. The team only beat Liechtenstein 4-1, and the day before they recovered in the match against North Macedonia, losing by a two-goal difference 2-2. At the moment, Iceland is only the fifth in the group. On the other hand, Germany started confidently in March with two dry wins over Iceland and Romania. However, they then suffered a sensational 2-1 defeat at home to North Macedonia. But September’s matches show that the team is doing well. They beat Liechtenstein 2-0 in class and defeated Armenia, who was leading the group 6-0 at the time.

Why bet on Iceland
The Icelandic national team comes into this match after a 2-2 draw in the WC – Europe Qualifiers against the North Macedonian national team. In that match, Iceland had 44% possession and 9 scoring chances with 3 shots on goal. For Iceland, the scorers were Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason (’78) and Guðjohnsen (’84). On the other side, North Macedonia had 19 chances on goal with eight shots on target. Darko Velkovski (’11) and Alioski (’54) scored for North Macedonia. Rarely in recent matches has Iceland’s defense been immaculate. In fact, Iceland has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, scoring an aggregate total of 9 goals during that period.
Why bet on Germany
The German national team enters this match on the back of a 6-0 victory in WC – Europe Qualifiers having beaten Armenia in their previous outing. In that match, Germany had 76% possession and 23 shots on goal with 12 shots on target. For Germany, the scorers were Serge Gnabry (‘6, 15), Marco Reus (’35), Timo Werner (’45), Jonas Hofmann (’52), and Karim Adeyemi (’91). At the other end, Armenia had 3 chances on goal with 1 shot on target. Having proven their penchant for high-scoring games, the net has been breached 23 times in the six previous matches in which Germany has sent their men out, achieving an average of 3.83 goals per game. Their opponents have scored eight of the total. Knowing that no two matches are ever the same, it remains to be seen whether that trend continues in this match or not.
Final betting analysis between Iceland and Germany
We think Iceland will manage to score a goal against Germany, but we don’t believe it will be enough to get the win. We anticipate a hard-fought 1-2 win for Germany when there is no more to play.
