Iceland vs Andorra Prediction & Betting tips
For the last two major events, the European Championship 2016 in France and the World Cup finals 2018 in Russia, the Icelandic national team could qualify surprisingly. At the EURO three years ago, the Northern Europeans even reached the quarter-finals sensationally, enchanting an entire continent.
In view of the new edition of the European Championship next year, however, the election Scandinavians stand with their backs to the wall. Three games left before the end of the qualification, the Icelanders would need a little miracle, but still to jump on the EM train. Six points are behind the Turks and the French, who decorate the top of the table in Group H.
The very last chance to switch back to Dreamer Mode is on Monday night. Then France and Turkey are in direct duel, while the team of the Swedish coach Erik Hamren has a mandatory task in front of the chest. The implicit probability of occurrence is 96%.
The clear signs are no surprise, after all, the Andorran turned out to be a diligent points supplier. Six of the first seven qualifiers were lost without the football dwarf even scored a goal.
But watch out: The team from the south of Europe has scented after the 1-0 win against Moldova fuse and wants to annoy the favorites. Nevertheless, we face Iceland vs. Andorra’s forecast that only a tip should be given to the hosts.
Iceland:
After twelve points from the first five games in the current qualifying Icelandic footballers could still be very satisfied, especially since it hailed the only loss to World Cup France (0: 4) and with Turkey a direct competitor was defeated at home for the EM ticket (2: 1).
Only one month later, however, the starting position of the northern Europeans has deteriorated dramatically. As the Turks unexpectedly prevailed over France and the Icelanders made an unanticipated dropout in Albania (2-4), the gap to the two leaders in Group H has grown to six points three games before the end.
Nevertheless, the omens are not completely hopeless, as the Icelanders have the opportunity on Monday evening to shorten the gap to three points. If the Turks lose as expected in France, the team of the Swedish coach Erik Hamren would even be on the verge of a real final on 14 November 2019 in Turkey, in which the surprise EURO 2016 team suddenly had everything back in their own hands.
In order to earn this “Do or Die” match, the Scandinavians should live up to their favorite role on Monday evening against Andorra. Hope makes the fact that the islanders in front of home scenery usually easier to do.
Even in the 0-1 defeat of Friday against the reigning world champion, the underdog sold expensive and lost only due to a penalty converted by Olivier Giroud penalty.
The other three home games, including, as mentioned, against Turkey, were made victorious. We introduce Iceland vs. the match. Andorra therefore the prognosis that another home win will only be a matter of form.
More exciting, however, is the question of which bets for the duel against David. Goliath make sense. Here we focus our attention on the fact that Sigurdsson and Co. make both halves victorious. In the first leg, the Icelanders retained the upper hand in the first as well as in the second round 1-0.
It is quite possible that the number of goals will multiply in front of your own fans. Compared to the more defensive 4-4-1-1, which experienced coach Hamren chose against the strong French side, this time we are assuming a much more offensive approach.
We even consider it probable that Bundesliga professional Finnbogason slips into the starting lineup and provides with his scoring qualities for danger in the Andorran penalty area.
Andorra:
For six games, the Andorrans were really sorry. Zero points, zero goals and 14 goals were scored for the football exotek, who nevertheless offered the overpowering opponents partial parole at times.
All the greater was the joy that the team of coach Koldo Alvarez could reward for the first time last Friday for their own efforts. At home against Moldova, “La Tricolor” won 1-0 and thus moved up in the table to penultimate place due to the better goal difference.
Nevertheless, one should not make the mistake of overestimating the Andorrans. The world ranking-136. is still one of the biggest outsiders in European football and has no well-known professionals who earn their money in top leagues.
Nevertheless, the coach, who has been the scepter in the dwarf state for almost ten years, has managed to form a collective that can fight against it in a combative and tactical manner at a good level.
However, this should be further differentiated, because especially in foreign countries, the southern Europeans are usually heavier. Background is the fact that Andorra gets very little relief and conceded at least after the 0: 1 often conceded further goals.
In five of the seven qualifying games completed so far, the Koldo team was already halfway behind. In four of these five cases, the underdog subsequently lost the second round. Among other things, we are therefore forcing a bet between Iceland and Andorra that the hosts will win both halves for themselves.
The greed for the first points in qualifying is saturated for the time being. Now the Andorrans have to define a new goal to keep the motivation at the boiling point. However, we assume that the air after the defensive victory against Moldova is something out and therefore tend to a significant success of the Hamren protégés.
