Romania - Iceland 
- Romania has failed to score in just one of its last 7 home games.
- In 4 previous matches between these teams there have been three victories for Romania and one for Iceland.
- In the only previous away game against Romania, Iceland lost 4-0 in 1997.
- Only once in the last 6 games of Romania have both teams scored
Romania hosts Iceland at the Stadionul Steaua in Bucharest for the Group J Qualifying World Cup match. The hosts are second in the group with 13 points, while Iceland is in fifth place with 8 points. Both teams have played eight games so far. The Romanians come from the 1-0 victory in their last match against Armenia. In this group we already have Germany as the winner, so the hosts will chase victory in their last two games to try to secure second place and a place in the playoffs. They know that nothing less than victory will be enough as the position of Northern Macedonia is just one point behind. They have won three of their four home games in the group with a loss to group winner Germany. Romania has maintained its focus in its last two home games.
Iceland had a great 4-0 victory over Liechtenstein in their last game which was their first home victory in five games. The visitors are in fifth place, five points behind second-placed Romania and have no realistic chance of making it to the playoffs. They will have to beat Romania and also win the last away match in Liechtenstein. This in itself is difficult, but they will need other results to follow their path, which makes it almost impossible. Iceland have kept a clean sheet in just one game in their last 10 away games. Prior to their victory in the last match, Iceland had five games without a win. summarizing Romania has a good run at home with just one defeat in the qualifiers, while Iceland is having a hard time away from home. Romania knows that winning this race brings it closer to securing second place and this motivation will make them overcome all their limits. I suggest win of Romania which is currently in 1.55 at Stoiximan.
