Norway
Norway has a great chance to qualify first in Group H, as long as they stay sharp and win the games considered to be “easy” like this one. Why? Because the team has already has won once against Portugal, and lost once, and tied the home game against Denmark. All they have left is a visit in Denmark and the game against Cyprus. Denmark and Portugal on the other hand will have to play each other which puts Norway in perfect position to grab the first spot. The team’s record over Iceland reads W15 D4 L6 (W7 D2 L2 at home), however no victory over that team since 1980. In the WC2010 qualifiers both games between those two teams ended draw.
Iceland
Iceland takes the last spot in Group H with no chance of qualifying, with 1 point from 5 games. The only point the team has got, was achieved in the away game against Cyprus. Iceland and Norway will soon meet again as they have been drawn together yet again, for Euro 2014 qualifications. In the World Cup qualifications both teams could not beat each other, recording a 2:2 draw in Norway and a 1:1 in Iceland.
Prediction
If Norway wants to qualify at the top of the group or perhaps for a play-off they must win this game and hope for the best, when visiting Denmark, and finishing off with Cyprus. One things is sure, a victory here and against Cyprus will significantly boost their chances of advances over those of Denmark.
Record of W7 D2 L2 against Iceland at home, but no victories here since 1980 over that opponent. Value bet here the draw @ 5.00 and perhaps go with correct score of 1:1 @ 9.50 or 2:2 @ 23.00 (bet365)
that was the outcome of both games back in 2010.
My prediction Norway to win this one.
