Iceland and Romania will lock horns in a super-important World Cup Qualifier on Thursday evening at Laugardalsvollur.
Neither Iceland nor Romania can afford a slip up in their head to head encounter in the fourth round of the European World Cup Qualifications.
Both teams have suffered an expected defeat to Germany and an unexpected loss to Armenia in the opening three rounds of the competition.
With Armenia (a perfect record after three fixtures), Germany, and North Macedonia all sitting above them in the Group J table, it is clear that a defeat here could potentially mean farewell from the World Cup hopes for either Iceland or Romania.
Neither of the two outfits made it to the EURO 2020. They were both in action in friendlies this summer, though.
Iceland fell 2-1 to Mexico, clinched a narrow 0-1 win over Faroe Islands, and held Robert Lewandowski & company to a 2-2 draw in Poland’s final warm-up before the European Championship.

冰岛和罗马尼亚将在周四晚上的一场超级重要的世界杯预选赛中交锋。
在欧洲杯预选赛第四轮比赛中，冰岛和罗马尼亚都无法承受一次头球失误。
在前三轮比赛中，这两支球队都在意料之中地输给了德国队，也意外地输给了亚美尼亚队。
在J组，亚美尼亚(三场比赛后的完美记录)、德国和北马其顿都排在他们的前面，很明显，在这里的失败可能意味着冰岛或罗马尼亚的世界杯希望的破灭。
这两家公司都未能进入2020年欧洲杯。不过，今年夏天他们都参加了友谊赛。
冰岛2-1负于墨西哥，以0-1险胜法罗群岛，并在波兰欧洲杯前的最后一场热身赛中，将罗伯特·莱万多夫斯基(Robert Lewandowski)和他的队友们以2-2打平。
