Türkiye – Iceland tip, forecast & odds

Turkey – Iceland tip with expert forecast, analysis & statistics as well as value odds for your Nations League bet | Next setback for the Turkish national team?

Our Turkey – Iceland sports betting tip for the Nations League match on September 9th, 2024 is: Only with the kind help of the Welsh did the Turkish national team achieve a draw (0:0) in Cardiff. In today’s betting tip, another scoreless draw could follow.

Our Turkey Iceland prediction is given a strong boost by the events of the first match day. Team manager Vincenzo Montella was not at all satisfied with the performance against Wales and even had to be grateful for the stolen point from Cardiff. Nevertheless, he and his players are the undisputed favorites on the second match day of the Nations League.

However, to be able to compete with the Icelanders, a massive improvement in performance is needed, otherwise the hosts will face another debacle. In today’s Turkey Iceland betting tip, we are still skeptical and play at Intertops odds of 2.06 for “Both teams to score: No”.

• 7 out of 8 direct encounters were successful with a bet on “Both teams to score: No”.
• In the Vikings’ last three international matches, only one team scored.
• The Turkish national team disappointed against Wales with only 0.79 expected goals.

The bookmakers are not showing any major outliers in their Turkey Iceland odds for the second matchday of the Nations League. Vincenzo Montella and his team are the clear favorites in their own country and will bring you maximum odds of 1.60 in the event of a win.

If you take into account the weak performance of the Ay-Yildizlilar against Wales (0:0) you can expect a Bet without deposit You might even risk a value bet on an “Iceland win”. With the Turkey Iceland betting odds, the guests reach odds of 5.50 for their second win in a row.

While the Turkish national team is licking its wounds after its botched Nations League opener (0:0), Iceland travels to the second matchday with a good dose of self-confidence in the Turkey Iceland tip.

Without having played sensational football, the Icelanders secured a comfortable 2-0 victory in their home match against Montenegro, in which both teams remained at less than 1.0 expected goals.

Ultimately, Iceland’s national coach Age Hareide was able to thank the team for two perfectly taken corners. Captain Johann Berg Gudmundsson set up the 1-0 goal in the first half. Gylfi Sigurdsson took the corner from the other side in the second half and provided the assist for the final 2-0 score.

Otherwise, the first match day was an uneventful experience for the guests this time. Overall, both teams only had one big chance in the entire game, each scoring less than 1.0 expected goals (0.84:0.43 xG). The expected goals on both sides from the game were even less than 0.40 xG (0.23:0.39 xG).

• Last 5 matches Turkey: 0:0 Wales (A), 1:2 Netherlands (A), 2:1 Austria (A), 2:1 Czech Republic (A), 0:3 Portugal (H).
• Last 5 matches Iceland: 2:0 Montenegro (H), 0:4 Netherlands (A), 1:0 England (A), 1:2 Ukraine (A), 4:1 Israel (A).
• Last 5 matches Turkey vs. Iceland: 0:0 (H), 1:2 (A), 0:3 (H), 0:2 (A), 1:0 (H).

The Turkish national team was clearly inferior to the oppressive Welsh team, but was able to celebrate a point after the final whistle despite 2.49 expected goals conceded (0:0). However, the Montella team’s own offensive efforts were limited throughout the game (0.79 xG).

The fact that set pieces were poorly defended could be critical. Turkey conceded slightly more expected goals from set pieces (1.25 xGA) than from open play (1.24 xGA).

In our Turkey Iceland prediction, we tend to assume that the game will be clear. The Turkish team will try to rob the Vikings of their organisation in defence, while the guests will try to achieve success through set pieces.

We do not rule out a complete scoreless result in this match. The last match between these two teams ended in a goalless draw. If you want to try such a result bet, feel free to take this Bet365 offer code for this purpose.

So far, Turkey and Iceland have faced each other in eight international matches, with only one of the two national teams scoring a goal in seven of those matches.

Iceland should not be underestimated by the hosts. The Strakarnir okkar have defended a clean sheet in two of their last three international matches, one of them against England (1-0).

However, a clear victory for the home team in the Turkey Iceland tip cannot be ruled out either. The Ay-Yildizlilar were extremely present in attack during the last European Championship and Iceland lost a one-sided match against the Netherlands (0-4) between the wins against England (1-0) and Montenegro (2-0).

Starting eleven Türkiye: Gunok, Ayhan, Soyuncu, Bardakci, Celik, Kokcu, Calhanoglu, Muldur, Guler, Yildiz, Akturkoglu

Substitute bench Türkiye: Bayindir, Cakir, Akaydin, Topcu, Yokuslu, Yüksek, Ozcan, Uzun, Kahveci, Dinkci, Nayir

Iceland starting eleven: Valdimarsson, Sampsted, Hermannsson, Gretarsson, Tomasson, Anderson, Gudmundsson, Thordarson, Thorsteinsson, Gilfy Sigurdsson, Oskarsson

Iceland substitute bench: Gunnarsson, Olagsson, Palsson, Fridriksson, Magnusson, Ellertsson, Traustason, Johannesson, Willumsson, Arnor Sigurdsson, Gudjohnsen

Looking at the recent results in this matchup, it may be somewhat surprising. Since October 2015, Iceland has not lost a single international match against Turkey, and has even won three out of four duels (2-0, 3-0, 2-1).

Also noticeable: The Icelanders have not conceded a goal in three of their last four encounters. As already mentioned, without a significant improvement in performance from the European Championship quarter-finalists, they risk a complete false start in the Turkey Iceland forecast.

The Icelandic national team poses little danger from the game. If the Turkish selection shows improved allocation in defensive set pieces, a goal can be prevented. In contrast, the visitors’ 4-4-1-1 system is difficult to crack and could drive the struggling hosts to despair.

Our Turkey – Iceland sports betting tip is: “Both teams to score: No” with odds at Intertops of 2.06.
