Can the hosts stop the group leaders ?
It has been a tough run for Iceland as they head into this game in 5th position on the standings having managed just four points from a possible fifteen in these qualifiers. They kicked off their trio of games with a disappointing performance against Romania in which they lost 2-0. Although they fought back from two goals down last time out against North Macedonia, they only had to settle for a point that wouldn't further their cause of making it through to the World Cup finals for the second time in a row. With the group leaders up this Wednesday, their fate could well be sealed, however, a monumental victory in a game like this would be all they need to get back on the Qatar track.
Hansi Flick's tenure as the Germany national team head coach started with a flourish as they head into their third game of this international break in search of their third win. Prior to their 2-0 victory against Liechtenstein, they found themselves three points behind Armenia who has amassed a total of nine points. Heading into this game, the Germans reside at the summit of the standings having followed up that first win with a 6-0 thrashing of the then-group leaders Armenia- Gnabry, Reus, Werner, Hoffman and Adeyemi all on the scoresheet.
