Israel vs Iceland – In the previous Nations League, Iceland was in the top division. However, at the end of the season, they were relegated and will now play in the second tier.
In order to achieve their immediate goal of regaining the top flight, they will need a better level of intensity from the start. However, they are now experiencing a bad run of results and are allowing a large amount of goals to slip through their fingers.
This has put a lot of strain on them, especially on their back line, which has been particularly vulnerable. Whether or not they can keep a clean sheet on Thursday is debatable.
Israel, on the other hand, had been second-to-last in League B the year prior. This time around, they’ll be aiming for a better finish, and they’ll likely go for the three points against Iceland.
However, the Israeli defense’s design must be taken into consideration as well. At home and away, they are allowing a ton of goals. As a result, whenever they’ve gone for big victories, their defense has often failed them.
Israel vs Iceland – Betting Analysis
During the past two decades, the two teams have faced each other 100 percent of the time, with each team scoring at least three goals. Since the start of the year, Israel had allowed two or more goals in seven of their last eight games.
Keep in mind that they have lost five of their previous seven games overall. Despite this, Iceland are now on a six-match losing streak; they’ve lost 11 of their previous 12 overall matches.
It’s also worth noting that they’d scored five or more goals in each of their three previous games before this one. Based on these facts, we should predict a high-scoring matchup between the two teams on Thursday.
Both teams have missed out on the World Cup in Qatar. Iceland had finished second-to-last in Group J, while their rivals for the day had finished third in Group F.
