    Match background

    Norway and Iceland are familiar opponents, both from UEFA Women's EURO 2013 qualifying and the 2009 finals.

    Head-to-head record

    These nations have met ten times with five of those meetings in the last four years. Overall Norway lead 7-2 in wins,with one draw, and 26-14 in goals.

    They played in two of the first European qualifiers for the inaugural 1984 finals. Norway were held 2-2 at home on28 August 1982 still their only draw against Iceland and won 1-0 away the following July.

    That was it until the 1997 Algarve Cup, when a Norway team at the peak of their powers triumphed 6-0.

    There have been two subsequent Algarve Cup meetings, Iceland winning 3-1 in 2009 and Norway prevailing 3-2the next year.

    In 2005 they were drawn together in the Women's EURO play-offs. Eventual runners-up Norway won 7-2 in a firstleg played indoors in Reykjavik and 2-1 at home.

    Iceland made their finals debut in 2009 and lost 1-0 in their second group game against Norway to end their hopes.

    Cecilie Pedersen got the only goal in Lahti on 54 minutes, the 18-year-old's first start eight days after her senior debut.Selected previous meetings

    Women's EURO 2013 qualifying

    Norway: Hjelmseth, Lund, Christensen, Knudsen, Akerhaugen, Mjelde, Gulbrandsen, Herlovsen, Isaeksen (Hansen67), Thorsnes (Holstad 77), Knutsen.Iceland: Helgadttir, Atladttir, Hnnudttir (Lrusdttir 56), Gardarsdttir (Thorsteinsdttir 71), Magnsdttir,Gsladttir, Gunnarsdttir, K Jnsdttir, M Vidarsdttir, Fridriksdttir (Brynjarsdttir 84), marsdttir.

    These teams were drawn in the same qualifying group and Norway made a nightmare start with their 3-1 loss inReykjavik. They went on to lose in Northern Ireland but thanks to Iceland dropping five points against Belgium, theirlast match in Oslo was to prove decisive. A point behind, Norway needed to win and duly did, aided by a first competitivestart since 2010 for Solveig Gulbrandsen after reverseing her decision to retire.

    The nations have met twice in the UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament, both in thegroup stage. In 2007 hosts Iceland, in their first ever youth finals fixture, lost 5-0 to Norway. Maren Mjelde scoredtwice and Ingvild Isaksen and Elise Thorsnes were also on target for a side containing Martina Lund against an Icelandteam including Rakel Hnnudttir, Gudn Bjrk dinsdttir, Fannds Fridriksdttir and Sara Bjrk Gunnarsdttir.

    Two years later it was 0-0 in Belarus. Fridriksdttir was joined by Dagn Brynjarsdttir in the Iceland team while

    Pedersen liked up with Hege Hansen.

    Form guide

    Norway lost two of their first four qualifiers in Iceland and Northern Ireland but won all six fixtures in 2012 to top theirsection and maintain a perfect qualifying record since their 1987 triumph only in 1997 did they not make the lastfour.

    However coach Eli Landsem's contract was not renewed at the end of 2012, meaning a return for 1995 FIFA Women'sWorld Cupwinning manager Even Pellerud from Trinidad and Tobago. Pellerud was also in charge for Norway'ssecond Women's EURO victory in 1993.

    Iceland qualified for their first major tournament in reaching UEFA Women's EURO 2009 but failed to secure a point.This time, having been pipped in their qualifying group by Norway, they overcame Ukraine in the play-offs.

    Team ties The last competitive meeting between clubs from these nations was in the 2005/06 UEFA Women's Cup first qualifyinground when Valur Reykjavk defeated Ra Fotball Elite 4-1 in Finland, though both progressed. Margrt Lra Vidarsdttir

    Team facts

    NORWAY

    Norway are the only multiple European women's champions other than Germany, and even if their fortunes have

    dipped in recent years, they have a knack of performing when it matters.They proved that in 2005 when they upset Sweden in the semi-finals, and again four years later with another surpriseof their neighbours, this time in the last eight; they then gave Germany a real scare. In their pomp, Norway were thefirst Europeans to win the FIFA Women's World Cup in 1995, and the only UEFA Olympic champions five years later,heights they wish to scale again.

    Their qualifying campaign was fraught and even a play-off place was in doubt after defeats in Iceland and NorthernIreland. But in 2012, they hit form to pip Iceland with a 2-1 win in the group decider in Oslo. However, the decisionwas still taken not to renew coach Eli Landsem's contract, which expires at the end of 2012.

    ICELAND

    UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2009 was the first senior final tournament for either men or women to feature a team fromIceland, and they are back again.

    The closest they had come in the past was 1995, when they lost a two-legged quarter-final to England, and they alsoreached the 1997 and 2005 play-offs, beaten respectively by eventual winners Germany and finalists Norway. Theappointment of Siggi Eyjlfsson as coach in 2007, however, produced immediate success as they reached the 2009

    Head coach

    Norway: Even PellerudDate of birth: 15 July 1953

    Playing career: Vlerenga Fotball, Kongsvinger ILCoaching career: Kongsvinger IL, Norway (women), Lillestrm SK, Ikast fS, Canada (women), Trinidad & Tobago(women), Norway (women)

    Pellerud's return to the Norway helm in December 2012 takes him back to the role where he had huge successbetween 1989 and 1996. Having previously led Kongsvinger, where he ended his playing career, Pellerud took Norwayto the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup final, losing to the United States in China, and went on from there.Two years later his Norway team won the 1993 UEFA European Women's Championship, the last time Germany didnot take the title. And then in 1995 Norway defeated Germany in the World Cup final in Sweden, followed a year laterby a bronze medal at the first women's Olympic tournament.

    Pellerud then returned to men's club management in Norway and Denmark before in 1999 becoming Canada women'scoach. He remained until 2008, finishing fourth at the 2003 World Cup, and though he announced his retirement,

    Pellerud then took charge of Trinidad & Tobago, notably leading their side on home soil at the 2010 FIFA U-17Women's World Cup. That role ended in 2012 when he came home to Norway to succeed Eli Landsem.

    Iceland: Siggi EyjlfssonDate of birth: 1 December 1973

    Playing career: KR Reykjavk, A Akranes, UNC Greensboro Spartans, Walsall FC, Chester City FC, KRC Harelbeke

    Coaching career: Iceland

    The first man to lead an Iceland team to a senior final tournament in either men's or women's football, Eyjlfsson hada cosmpolitan playing career before moving into coaching.

    Entering the youth ranks of KR Reykjavk at a young age, he graduated to the first team and helped them win the

    1994 Icelandic Cup. In 1995, he moved to the United States for a bachelor's degree in exercise and sports scienceand then a master's in exercise and sports psychology at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. Returninghome with A Akranes in 1998, the following year he joined English club Walsall FC, scoring in a 3-1 win againstOldham Athletic FC that secured promotion to the second tier.

    He was loaned to Chester City FC for the first three months of 2000, before leaving Walsall for KRC Harelbeke ofBelgium that November. Six months later, Eyjlfsson was back at KR, winning two league titles in as many years,and he ended his career in 2005 at A. In 2002, he also began working at the Football Association of Iceland astechnical director, and in that time he studied for UEFA's coaching qualifications. He earned the UEFA Pro Licencein 2007 in England, making him one of just two people from Iceland to hold the qualification at the time.

    In January 2007, Eyjlfsson was appointed to the helm of the Iceland women's team, taking a particular interest inthe psychological side of coaching as befitting his academic speciality. Success in UEFA Women's EURO 2009

    qualifiying was immediate, with his charges beating France 1-0 that June. Although Les Bleues ultimately pippedthem to first place in the group, Iceland defeated the Republic of Ireland 4-1 in the play-offs. They lost all three gamesin Finland, but are back again, missing out in their group in similar style to four years ago, this time behind Norway,but then defeating Ukraine.
