Iceland
Iceland will look to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Bosnia Herzegovina when they face Liechtenstein at Rheinpark Stadion on Sunday. The Icelanders experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their opener, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Rene Pauritsch’s troops. Boss Arnar Vidarsson should opt to make changes to the starting XI, with both Mikael Egill Ellertsson and Mikael Anderson pushing for recalls.
The hosts, on the other hand, failed to make a miracle in Lisbon, with the team losing to Portugal (0-4), and given their 14-game losing run in all competitions, we do not believe that Iceland will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. To make things even worse for the home side, defender Andreas Malin suffered an injury in the first group game. In their last meeting in a competitive match Iceland outplayed Liechtenstein 4-0.
Highlighted Team (Iceland):
Iceland had little to no success during the first 60 years of entering the FIFA competitions, failing to qualify to a single major tournament in that period, but the team then went on to make tremendous progress at the start of the 21st century.
The Nordic side narrowly missed out on a place at the 2014 World Cup, losing in the play-off to Croatia, but they then enjoyed a thoroughly impressive qualifying campaign to reach the Euro 2016, taking 20 points from 10 matches to leave Turkey and Netherlands trailing in their wake.
As a result, the generation featuring players like Gylfi Sigurdsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and Emil Hallfredsson will go down as one of the most successful in the national team history and it could be quite some time before another team repeat their success. Even if he was only used as a bit-part player during the Euro 2016 qualifiers, Eidur Gudjohnsen has got to be mentioned as the first Icelandic footballer to have played for top European sides.
