Germany hosts Iceland in round 1 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, March 25th at Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena (Duisburg)
The German national football team failed the previous World Cup, which took place in Russia in 2018. That tournament, as well as subsequent competitions, showed that now there is no such clear progress as before. In this regard, it was decided to end cooperation with head coach Joachim Loew in the summer of 2021, when the European Championship ends. By the way, the result of the last official game confirms the fact that there are problems in the team. In the Nations League, the Germans lost to the Spanish national team with a score of 0-6. In connection with the latest misfires, rumors have emerged that experienced footballers such as Müller, Boateng, and Hummels may be returned to the German national team.

The national team of Iceland gave all opponents a surprise at Euro 2016, but after that everything returned to its place. Yes, Icelanders are still a tough and unyielding opponent, but they won’t be able to jump above the status of the middle peasant. To date, the team has lost five consecutive matches with a total score of 3-13. And the management decided to restart the Vikings. Instead of Eric Hamren, the federation appointed Arnar Vidarsson. The game against the Germans will be the debut for the 43-year-old specialist at the helm of the Icelandic national team.
Of course, Germany is the clear favorite not only of the upcoming confrontation but of the entire Group J. Truth be told, the opponent is very unyielding. Not many people like the football that the Vikings show, but it often gives results. Struggle, fouls, duels - all this sometimes does not allow a technical opponent to use his trump cards since the game is constantly slowing down. Yes, the Germans are stronger in all components, but you can take risks and bet on the visitors’ victory with a plus handicap.
Prediction for the match: Iceland to win with +2.5 handicap
