Wales v Iceland Nations League Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Tuesday 19th November 2024
With just one game left to play in League B Group 4, Wales can finish first, second or third in the standings and they will look to boost their chances of promotion when they entertain Iceland on Tuesday evening.
Offensive issues
After five rounds of group fixtures, Craig Bellamy’s men sit in second position in their UEFA Nations League group, their hopes of making it into pole position boosted by their goal-less draw with Turkey last time out, the latter having missed from the penalty spot in the closing stages. Should Turkey lose to already-relegated Montenegro in their final group outing, Wales can overtake the Crescent-Stars with a victory over Iceland this week, while a second-placed finish for Bellamy’s side would be enough for a play-off berth against a third-placed top-flight side next year. The Welsh have yet to find any solution for their offensive issues however and the goal-less draw against Turkey was the fifth time in eight outings that they have failed to add to the scoreline.
Fate in their own hands
As with Wales, Iceland’s fate is also in their own hands and the worst that they can finish is third position, while they can make the play-offs should they win against the Welshmen on Tuesday. Iceland played in the top tier of the tournament in 2018/19 and 2020/21, however until this season’s competition they had failed to win a single Nations League match. Nevertheless, with two wins under their belt in this season’s tournament, the Nordic nation can still make it back to League A.
Arms length
Wales have hardly been impressing up front this season but we believe that the hosts can manage to keep their opponents at arms length here after a determined defensive display against Turkey last time out. This could be a drab and low-scoring encounter but we’ll be siding with Wales to ensure for themselves a top two finish in the group.
Back Wales to win 1-0 at best odds of 5/1
