  • 30' - Wilfred Ndidi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
