Armenia hosts Iceland in round 2 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Sunday, March 28th at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium (Yerevan)
Armenia has one top-level player - Mkhitaryan. But Henrikh, who is holding a great season, was injured in the Europa League match between Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk (ironically, his first milestone club). Without him, the Armenians are deprived of a significant part of their attacking potential. And it was evident in the first round of the current qualification. Yes, Armenia won, as it would be simply shameful to lose points with such an outsider as Liechtenstein. But the Armenians managed to put the squeeze on the opponent only in the 83rd minute. Moreover, everything was decided by an own goal by 20-years-old midfielder Noah Frommelt.

Iceland got a very hard start in the new qualification. Moreover, the representatives of a separate island will have to play two away matches in a row. And they went to Germany in the first round. It was either the news about Loew's desire to leave after the Euro, or the desire to rehabilitate itself after the November defeat to the Spaniards, but the German team won without any problems. On March 25, the intrigue about the outcome of the match was killed already in the 7th minute - Goretzka and Havertz managed to score two quick goals. Without Sigurdsson and Finnbogasson, the Icelanders could not respond with anything and created only a few half-chances. As a result, the qualification began with a 0-3 defeat (the third goal was scored by Gundogan). But that result was largely expected, as Iceland played against a clear favorite. But in the context of the struggle for the 2nd place, the Vikings need to earn three points in Yerevan because there is such a difficult competitor as Romania.
Iceland never lost to Armenia. Moreover, it never even conceded a goal - two victories with clean sheets and a goalless draw. However, the teams have never met after 2008. Now experts believe that Iceland will finally end its unsuccessful streak and may even win. But both teams cannot count on the most dangerous players, so we think that the match won’t be rich in goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
