H2H: Denmark vs Iceland - Prediction (UEFA Nations League

H2H: Denmark v Iceland – Comparison.

Iceland’s Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored three first-half goals across his last three internationals. Meanwhile, Denmark’s Cristian Eriksen has scored in back-to-back UNL matches. Denmark have never lost to Iceland (W18, D3), and have conceded just one goal across their last seven H2H wins.

Denmark Insights.

Denmark are tied on points with England, but two behind leaders Belgium, in this thrilling UEFA Nations League (UNL) group. Three points here will set up a final match against Belgium where the Danes could go on to win the group, but Denmark are without a home victory so far (D1, L1) having taken six of their seven points on the road. Yet confidence should still be brimming as they’re enjoying a run of four straight international wins ‘to nil’ coming into this clash. Scoring first appears a prerequisite for success, as Denmark have netted the opener in their last 15 victories, keeping a clean sheet in 13. Unsurprisingly then, both teams have scored in just one of Denmark’s last 12 matches. Whilst across their last 15 fixtures, goals have been either few (eight featuring under 2.5 goals) or plentiful (six witnessing over 3.5 goals).

Iceland Insights.

Iceland got their hearts broken in midweek, having been in front for almost 80 minutes in their European Championship qualifier against Hungary only to lose 2-1 thanks to two late goals. Therefore, this match might be tough on them as they’re already relegated to League B after registering zero points and a -9 goal difference. Notably, Iceland played in League A last time around as well, losing all four matches for a -12 goal difference. However, the visitors have scored in five straight games outside Iceland (W3, L2), although the three wins are maybe deceptive, as the highest FIFA ranked team amongst those was 68th-placed El Salvador. Furthermore, eight of their nine most recent defeats outside Iceland have come by a 2+ goal margin.
