Team Analysis
The Icelandic team has seen a decline in recent years, losing the "dark horse" status that once troubled Europe's strong teams. Despite this, the squad still boasts key players like Albert Gudmundsson, who plays in Europe's top leagues, as well as young talents such as Orri Oskarsson and Hakon Arnar Haraldsson. Home-field advantage is crucial for them, and they will give their all to secure a victory and turn their fortunes around.
The situation for Azerbaijan is more severe; they are in their worst form in years, with no wins in their last ten matches and poor performances in recent friendlies. Although head coach Fernando Santos has tried to make adjustments since taking over, the team's offense still lacks threat. However, the squad includes several players from the Champions League team Qarabag, who might bring some new energy to the team.
Player Status
Iceland will be missing two key midfielders: Arnor Sigurdsson due to injury and the experienced Johann Berg Gudmundsson, which is a shame as he was just one game shy of his 100th cap. However, Albert Gudmundsson will be the team's key player, and his performance will directly impact the match's outcome.
For Azerbaijan, defender Badavi Huseynov is out with an injury, but two other players with the same last name are set to start. Young forward Nariman Akhundzade from Qarabag is expected to get an opportunity, and his speed and impact might trouble Iceland's defense.
Nowgoal Prediction
Given Iceland's superior squad on paper, especially when playing at home, they are more likely to win this match. Azerbaijan's weak offense will likely struggle to break down Iceland's defense. The Icelandic team might secure a narrow victory based on the individual skills of their key players and the momentum of playing at home.
Prediction: Iceland 2-0 Azerbaijan
