Iceland vs Romania Free Betting Tips – Euro 2021 playoffs

Romania dreams of a home European Championship

It would be tragic if the Romanian national team did not qualify for the pan-European EURO 2021. In the preliminary round, three games will be played in Bucharest and the Romanians are threatened not to be there. In the playoffs of Division A, it is now important to assert yourself first in Iceland and then in Bulgaria or Hungary.

The task on Thursday in the North Atlantic is already tough. The best bookmakers see the Icelanders as a wafer-thin favourite in this duel. Since there are no second legs in these playoffs, the Romanians have the disadvantage of having to play away and not having their own strollers in the stadium.

Generally, only 1,500 spectators are allowed in this match. In Reykjavik, the climate will also be relatively uncomfortable. These are all small disadvantages for the Romanian team, which, if successful, would have to travel again for a European Championship ticket in November in the playoff final. Before the semi-finals between Iceland and Romania, it doesn’t sound like there is no alternative to a prediction for Romanian Euro 2021 qualification.

After the forced break, the Romanians performed better than the Icelanders and also got better results. Perhaps there is still a back door for Mirel Radoi’s team to grab the unique opportunity to play European Championship games in their own stadium, although the first impulse between Iceland and Romania remains a tip for a home win.

Iceland – Statistics & current form

The Icelanders have had a tremendous development behind them, but you shouldn’t be so presumptuous as to expect the quarter-finalists of EURO 2016 at every European Championship finals. The islanders have not yet been able to book the ticket via the regular qualification, there is still the detour via the playoffs in the Nations League, which we report on in our international football tips.

Home failures only against world-class teams

However, there is still a long way to go and two wins in a row in this competition are a must. But first of all, all the attention is focused on the match on Tuesday and coach Erik Hamren is at least cautiously optimistic. After all, the Icelanders have won six of the last eight home games and only lost 1-0 to world champions France and the strong Englishmen.

After the forced break, however, there were two defeats in two games.

“The Romanians are strong and ahead of us in the world rankings, but I have a good feeling for this game.” – Erik Hamren

First of all, the Icelanders lost to England before they were beaten 1: 5 in Belgium. However, Hamren had a completely different team available there. Almost the entire starting line-up is turned upside down against Romania.

Captain Gunnarsson is back as well as Gylfi Sigurdsson or the two attackers Sigthorsson and Finnbogason. Coach Hamren has all the stars except Hallfredsson in this do-or-die game. That sounds like the odds on a home win in the match Iceland against Romania are quite interesting.

The probable lineup of Iceland:
↪️ Kristinsson – Arnason, R. Sigurdsson, Ingason, A. Sigurdsson – Skulason, Gunnarsson, G. Sigurdsson, Gudmundsson – Finnbogason, Sigthorsson
↪️ Coach: Hamren

Romania – Statistics & current form

The Romanians are longing for a national team that can build on the great times of the 1990s. The Tricolori have been waiting for a World Cup participation since 1998 and things didn’t go particularly well at the three European Championships that followed. It’s time again for a Romanian bang, but it will probably be a long time coming.

Victory and draw after the forced break

After the forced break, Mirel Radoi’s team has played two international matches. At home, it’s only enough to draw a poor 1-1 draw against Northern Ireland.

“There is never a 90-minute game in which the Icelanders do not make mistakes. But it is clear that we have to make fewer mistakes. ” – Mirel Radoi

After all, Romania then won 3-2 in Austria, although Team Austria did not start with the best line-up. However, if you win in Austria, you don’t have a chance in Iceland either.

When comparing the odds of the betting base, however, it can be observed that the bookmakers are not influenced by this and therefore continue to predict a home win in the duel between Iceland and Romania.

Radoi has had the match plan in his pocket for a long time. He expects a focused performance from his team because that’s the only way to win. Whether in 90 minutes, extra time or a penalty shoot-out, the Romanians don’t care. Penalties were definitely part of the training this week. With Chiriches and Andone, two top performers had to cancel due to injury.


The probable lineup of Romania:

↪️ Tatarusanu – Burca, Grigore, Tosca, Bancu – Cretu, Hagi, Maxim, Deac, Stanciu – Keserü
↪️ Coach: Radoi

Last matches from Romania:

UEFA Nations League B Grp. 1
⚽️ 09/07 2020 Austria 2 – 3 Romania
⚽️ 09/04 2020 Romania 1 – 1 Northern Ireland

Iceland vs Romania – Direct comparison / H2H balance

It has been many years since Iceland and Romania crossed paths. In qualifying for the 1998 World Cup, there were the only two duels so far. At that time the Romanians belonged to the extended world elite and probably there were also football gnomes back then, to which the Icelanders belonged.

High Romanian victories in direct duels

In any case, Romania won both qualifiers 4-0. Stars like Petrescu, Adrian Ilie and Gheorghe Hagi still played for the Tricolori, and now he hopes that his son will be able to fill his big footsteps at some point. Iceland was actually a team full of “nameless people” at the time.

Iceland vs Romania Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters

We expect a close game between Iceland and Romania. The advantage of the islanders is that they can count on around 1,500 spectators, who will certainly create a home game atmosphere. In addition, Icelanders naturally cope better with wind and weather. That is why there have been six wins and only defeats in the last eight home games against heavyweights France and England.

However, the two matches after the forced break did not go according to plan. But you can also lose against England and Belgium. The Romanians are unbeaten after the restart, but had the easier opponents in front of their chest. All the facts combined mean for us that we tend to tip the home side between Iceland and Romania.

Key facts – Iceland vs Romania tips

💫 Iceland has won six of their last eight home games.
💫 Romania has not yet lost after the forced break.
💫 The Romanians have won the two previous duels 4-0.

We think that the home strength of the islanders will be decisive. This means that the European Championship games in Romania will, unfortunately, take place without Romanian participation. In any case, we decided to place the odds on a home win between Iceland and Romania.
