Nations League Prediction
Iceland, 3rd, 3 points behind Turkey, is still in the race for promotion to League A but this meeting is crucial! A defeat and it will mark the end of Icelandic hopes for the climb! This Icelandic selection still has 2 defeats in its last 4 matches in the Netherlands (4-0) in a friendly then in Turkey (3-1) in the first leg in this Nations League. This setback was followed by a draw at home against Wales (2-2) this Friday. This sharing of points is equivalent to a victory since Iceland was trailing 0-2 and came back to the score at the very end of the match with a goal from Tomasson (69th) and a csc from the Welshman Ward (72nd)…In three minutes, Iceland gained 1 point!
Turkey must master this trip to Reykjavik to stay on course at the head of this group. The Turks are on a good dynamic since after the draw in Wales (0-0) on the first day, they won in quick succession Iceland (3-1) at the Gursel Aksel Stadyumu in Izmir and Montenegro (1-0) at Samsun 19 Mayis Stadium in Samsun this Friday. With 4 victories in its last 6 matches (1 defeat), Turkey is capable of taking the 3 points in Iceland and consolidating its pole position.
