Wales vs Iceland Prediction & Betting Tips | 19/11/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this Nations League match:

Wales

Wales

Iceland

Iceland

Tuesday’s UEFA Nations League at Cardiff City Stadium pits together Wales and Iceland, the two teams vying for second place in Group 4. As the Dragons can overtake Turkey in top position as well, we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the last group game. Mark Harris is a major doubt after suffering a head injury in a goalless draw with Turkey, while all Owen Beck, Wes Burns, Kieffer Moore, and Nathan Broadhead remain in the recovery room.

The Icelanders, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Montenegro and they face yet another must-win game in Cardiff. As both Iceland and Wales will go for a win in the last group game, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Earlier in the process the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in Reykjavik. Aron Gunnarsson misses out with injury for the visiting team, while Logi Tomasson serves a one-game ban.

Prediction:
1-1

Highlighted Team (Wales):

Wales

Despite being part of the United Kingdom, Wales national football team has been competing in FIFA tournaments since 1950, although they have so far only reached two tournament finals. The Dragons surprised everyone by making it to the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, but little did they know that it would remain their only World Cup appearance up to date.

Wales had plenty of problems in the European Championship qualifiers as well, but they finally managed to end the barren run by securing their place at the Euro 2016 in France. Led by the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Ashley Williams, the Dragons performed admirably throughout the campaign and even reached the 8th position in the FIFA Rankings in October 2015.

Neville Southall remains the team’s most capped player, but the generation that included Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy and John Hartson will also be remembered for some impressive performances against top European national teams.
