Prediction: 1-1
Iceland
Luxembourg and Iceland go head to head at Stade de Luxembourg in what is expected to be a close Euro 2024 qualifier. Luxembourg aim to build on back-to-back wins over Liechtenstein and Bosnia and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Friday’s clash. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Sivasspor striker Gerson Rodrigues, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
The Icelanders, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Slovakia and Portugal. Since the visitors are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Keep in mind that Iceland midfielder Willum Willumson serves a one-game ban against Luxembourg. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.
Highlighted Team (Iceland):
Iceland had little to no success during the first 60 years of entering the FIFA competitions, failing to qualify to a single major tournament in that period, but the team then went on to make tremendous progress at the start of the 21st century.
The Nordic side narrowly missed out on a place at the 2014 World Cup, losing in the play-off to Croatia, but they then enjoyed a thoroughly impressive qualifying campaign to reach the Euro 2016, taking 20 points from 10 matches to leave Turkey and Netherlands trailing in their wake.
As a result, the generation featuring players like Gylfi Sigurdsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and Emil Hallfredsson will go down as one of the most successful in the national team history and it could be quite some time before another team repeat their success. Even if he was only used as a bit-part player during the Euro 2016 qualifiers, Eidur Gudjohnsen has got to be mentioned as the first Icelandic footballer to have played for top European sides.
