THE PREDICTION

Iceland and Romania do battle here for the right to face either Bulgaria or Hungary in the Path A final in November. Iceland underperformed in their friendlies last month and notably suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat at the hands of Belgium but the welcome back some key players here in the form of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Johann Berg Gudmundsson with Sigurdsson in particular here having been in good form for Everton recently. He could be the key to unlocking this Romanian defence, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches, but this could ultimately be decided by the odd goal with both teams looking to keep things tight so backing against both teams scoring could be the way to play this one.
