Iceland vs Luxembourg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 13th 2023

Iceland and Luxembourg return to action in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers when they go head-to-head at the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium on Friday.

Luc Holtz’s men will be looking to do the group double over the home side, having picked up an impressive 3-1 victory in September’s reverse fixture.

Iceland returned to winning ways last time out when they claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Reykjavik.

Prior to that, Åge Hareide’s men were on a three-match losing streak, suffering defeats against Slovakia, Portugal and Luxembourg respectively.

With six points from six matches, Iceland are currently fourth in Group J, level on points with fifth-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Luxembourg, on the other hand, were left spitting feathers last time out as they suffered a 9-0 hammering at the hands of a rampant Portugal side.

Holtz’s side were previously on a run of three straight victories in the qualifiers, scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets in that time.

With 10 points from a possible 18, Luxembourg are currently third in Group J, three points behind second-placed Slovakia.
