Motivation really matters?

Romania should win here. Motivation is everything in football.
Romania has a good squad and should qualify in this group. They were obligated to win in the last round against Armenia to depend on themselves to qualify, and they did it. Achieved an important and fair victory 1-0 and now they are 2nd in the group, with one point advantage over North Macedonia and Armenia.
They still have to play this match and then against Liechtenstein, and winning both games will be qualified. IIt should be easy for them! In the last 5 games only conceded goals in one match: against Germany, where they made a very good performance and lost 2-1.
Important striker George Puscas is back after suspension.
On the other hand, Iceland is a very weak national team. They are far from the amazing level they showed in 2016 and 2018. Their performances in the last few years have been terrible, and the situation is worse if we add the sexual scandal that the Icelandic federation had this year, where some key players and staff were removed from the team.
Obviously they won in the previous game against Liechtenstein, but this has been their only victory in the last 6 games played. They have already zero chances to qualify, so will play only for the pride here.
As some players said, they are still building the team and need to create a connection between the new players. It may take some time.
This match will miss some key players like Burnley’s attacker Guðmundsson or the topscorer Gyfli Sigurdsson, who scored the two goals in the victory 1 year ago against Romania (2:1) in the Nations League. Several players without experience have been called for this match and will take part in it.
Romania has the motivation and quality here. When both teams played two months ago we saw an easy victory by Romania (0:2), so today with the motivation difference between both teams it should be easy as well.
For Iceland it will be like a friendly game while for Romania it will be one of the last steps to be back for a World Cup after 23 years.

罗马尼亚应该会赢。在足球运动中，动力就是一切。
罗马尼亚有一支优秀的球队，应该可以进入这个小组。他们有义务在最后一轮对阵亚美尼亚的比赛中获胜，依靠自己的力量获得参赛资格，他们做到了。取得了一场重要而公正的胜利，现在他们在小组中排名第二，领先北马其顿和亚美尼亚一分。
他们仍然需要打这场比赛，然后对阵列支敦士登，赢得这两场比赛将获得资格。对他们来说应该很容易!在过去的5场比赛中，他们只在一场比赛中失球:对阵德国，他们表现很好，以2-1输掉了比赛。
重要的前锋乔治·普斯卡斯在停赛后复出。
另一方面，冰岛是一支非常弱的国家队。他们远没有达到2016年和2018年的惊人水平。他们在过去几年的表现很糟糕，如果我们加上冰岛联邦今年发生的性丑闻，情况就更糟了，一些关键球员和工作人员被开除了。
显然，他们在前一场对列支敦士登的比赛中获胜，但这是他们最近6场比赛中唯一的胜利。他们已经没有机会晋级了，所以他们将在这里只为荣耀而战。
正如一些球员所说，他们还在组建球队，需要在新球员之间建立联系。这可能需要一些时间。
这场比赛将会失去一些关键球员，比如伯恩利的攻击手古·德蒙松，以及头号射手吉弗里·西古德森。一年前，在国家联赛中2:1战胜罗马尼亚的比赛中，西古德森打入两球。几名没有经验的选手被叫来参加这场比赛。
罗马尼亚在这里有动力和能力。两个月前，两支球队在比赛中轻松战胜了罗马尼亚(0:2)，所以今天由于两支球队的动机差异，比赛应该也很容易。
对冰岛来说，这就像是一场友谊赛，而对罗马尼亚来说，这将是时隔23年后重返世界杯的最后一步。
