004 Iceland vs Azerbaijan

World Cup European Qualifiers, Group D's first round, Iceland plays Azerbaijan at home. Iceland currently ranks 74th in the world, while Azerbaijan ranks 122nd. Iceland has been glorious, but has not appeared in the competition for many years. Azerbaijan has almost no chance and has never been brave.

Judging from the staffing configuration of the two teams, Iceland is currently a bit improved compared to the past. Iceland participated in the UEFA B League. Judging from the team's home performance, their own abilities are good, but they are far behind the strong team. As you can see from the gains and losses, Iceland scored 2 goals in three consecutive home games. It defeated Montenegro, tied Wales, lost to Turkey, and was eventually relegated. However, from the perspective of staffing, there are some good players in the Iceland team, such as Gudermensson of Fiorentina and Haraldesson of Lille, all of which support the team can achieve stable goals.

Azerbaijan participated in the C League last season, and was finally ranked last in the group and was relegated to the D League. His performance was extremely poor. He only scored 3 goals in 6 rounds of games and conceded 17 goals. Obviously, the team is not on the same level as the C League teams.

Iceland is at home in this game and has a home advantage. In addition, the opponent's strength is too weak, so I am optimistic about Iceland's strength to win this game.

Direction: Win

007 Italy vs Estonia

Italian football has missed the World Cup for two consecutive times. The problem of not meeting the young and yellow teams before was very serious. After years of precipitation, Keane; Retgi; Scarmaca; Raspadori and other new generation forces are gradually rising, which has also injected good energy into the Italian front line. However, they face great challenges in this World Cup qualifier. Scarmaca has withdrawn from the team due to injury, and Tonali has doubts about his shoulder injury. In the World Cup, they were in the same group as Norway and had already lost in the first round, so the situation of qualifying was very tense. This year, the second place in the group stage was to fall into the playoffs. Estonia is the most bottom team in Europe. Whether it is the European Cup, the World Cup qualifiers are just a few. However, they performed well in this World Cup qualifier. Although they only won one game in 4 games, the winning rate is worth paying attention to. Estonia has lost three times before. Currently, the lineup is mostly young players, and it is basically a learning attitude. Therefore, facing traditional strong teams, Estonia is likely to be suppressed. Due to the qualifying situation, Italy needs to ensure that it does not make mistakes while accumulating more goals in the future, so as to retain the hope of direct promotion. In the group, Estonia and Moldova are two bottom-ups. In the first batch of national team competitions in September, the players at least have no physical limitations and can devote themselves to the game. Today, Italy is still playing at home. No matter how bad Gattuso is, he has led Milan and Naples. He is still familiar with domestic football. Today, he believes that Italy has no reason to not win.

Direction: Let the victory
