Prediction: 2-2
Iceland
Following a 2-1 loss at Denmark, Northern Ireland will look to get back on course when they face Iceland in their second June friendly. Northern Ireland’s display against Denmark was promising, especially at the back, but it has to be noted that goalkeeper Conor Hazard limped off with injury. As a result, talented Sheffield Wednesday shot-stopper Pierce Charles is widely expected to start in goal against Iceland.
Arnar Gunnlaugsson’s troops, on the other hand, defeated Scotland 3-1 in their last warm-up game to put an end to their three-match losing run. Iceland looked sharp up front against Scotland and given Northern Ireland’s desire to return to winning ways, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. When the two teams met in the EURO 2008 qualifiers, Iceland defeated Northern Ireland 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Northern Ireland):
Competing first under the Irish flag and then as an independent entity, Northern Ireland are one of world’s oldest national teams, but they haven’t enjoyed too much success in history. Led by Danny Blanchflower, the Irish impressed at their first ever World Cup finals appearance, reaching the quarter-finals in 1958, but they have since only played at the 1982 and 1986 tournaments, reaching round 2 and crashing out in the group stage respectively.
Northern Ireland had failed to qualify for 13 successive European Championship finals before finally booking their ticket to the Euro 2016 in France, and the fans hope this success will only be a sign of things to come. Without a doubt, George Best is the most famous footballer to have ever put on the green shirt, scoring 9 goals in 37 appearances, but he couldn’t help the national team close the gap behind Europe’s top sides.
Some of the other high-profile footballers include Pat Jennings, Aaron Hughes, David Healy, Keith Gillespie, Steven Davies and Gareth McAuley.
