Preview
Finland and Iceland meet at Ratinan Stadion, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins in the last 2 matches. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Finland

The home team is currently in the 5th position, with 1 point won, after 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Turkey by (2‑0). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Ukraine by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 8 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 8 home matches Finland has won 1, tied 3 and lost 4.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last matches and they haven't won any of the last 6 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 6 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Finland comes unmotivated for this match after a home defeat, by 1-2, against Ukraine. Thus, the home team is in a bad period, as they don’t count any victory in the last five matches. The home team usually acts in a habitual 4-3-3, privileging the fast transitions. For this, they can count on the speed of Uronen and Lod. It should be noted that one of the best players in Finland is the Verona midfielder, Hetemaj.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Paulus Arajuuri, Jere Uronen, Joona Toivio, Juhani Ojala, Kasper Hämäläinen, Robin Lod, Alexander Ring, Përparim Hetemaj, Eero Markkanen.
Coach: T. Sparv, M. Kanerva.

Analysis Iceland

The away team is currently in the 2nd position, with 13 points won, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against Kosovo by (1‑2). In the last round, they have won a home match against Croatia by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded. Their last away match was for the Friendlies and ended in a win by (0‑1) against Republic of Ireland. In the last 10 away matches Iceland has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Iceland comes motivated for this match after a 1-0 home triumph in their friendly against Croatia: Magnússon, in the 90th minute, scored the only goal. Thus, the visiting team seems to be going through a good moment with three consecutive victories. The visiting team usually plays in 4-3-3, preferring quick transitions. For this, they can count on Finnbogason's ability to finish. It should be noted that the Iceland national team is a team with some quality.

Confirmed Lineup: Hannes Þór Halldórsson, Hörður Magnússon, Birkir Már Sævarsson, Kári Árnason, Gylfi Sigurðsson, Birkir Bjarnason, Emil Hallfreðsson, Jóhann Guðmundsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Alfreð Finnbogason.
Coach: R. Sigurðsson, Å. Fridtjof Hareide.
